Fig. 5: Effects of exogenous ethylene and JA treatment on the senescence of RhMYB108-silenced rose petal discs.

a The phenotypes of rose petal discs treated with 10 μL/L ethylene or 100 μM MeJA were recorded. b, c, d, e Color fading and ion leakage rates (b, c ethylene treatment; d, e JA treatment) of RhMYB108-silenced and TRV control petal discs. d transcript levels of RhSAG12 in RhMYB108-silenced and TRV control petal discs. Three biological replicates were tested, and the error bars represent the SDs. The asterisks indicate statistically significant differences (Student’s t test, *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001).
