Fig. 2. Tissue expression pattern of SlZHD17 and phenotypic characterization of SlZHD17-RNAi plants.

Fig. 2

a Tissue expression pattern of the SlZHD17 gene in WT plants. Rt root, St stem, Lf leaf, Fb flower bud, Fl flower, Yf young fruit, Imf immature green fruit, Mf mature green fruit, Bf breaker fruit, and Rf red ripe fruit. b The relative expression level of the SlZHD17 gene in WT and T2 generation RNAi leaves. One-month-old plants were used for sampling and testing. The transcript level in WT was set as 1. Data represent the mean values of three independent experiments and error bars show the ±standard error values. Double asterisks (**) refer to significant differences between WT and transgenic lines with P < 0.01 (two-tailed Student’s t-test). c Photograph of WT and SlZHD17-RNAi plants at the fruit development stage. d–g Phenotypic characterization, including plant height (d), time of flower bud appearance (e), flowering time (f), and fruit harvest time (g), of WT and RNAi plants. The fruit harvest time in g was days from seedling transplant into soil to fruit ripening. In d–g, data represent the means of at least 12 values, and error bars show the standard error values; Double asterisks (**) refer to significant differences between WT and transgenic lines with P < 0.01 (two-tailed Student’s t-test)
