Fig. 5: Ectopic expression of CmBES1 affected the corolla tube merged degree.
From: CmBES1 is a regulator of boundary formation in chrysanthemum ray florets
a Top view of wild type (WT) and transgenic overexpression (OX) lines 1, 3, and 4. The positive transgenic lines had a relatively high degree of corolla tube merging (corolla tube length/ray floret length). Bar: 1 cm. b Top view of the outermost ray florets of WT and OX lines. Bar: 1 cm. c Top view of the middle ray florets of WT and OX transgenic plants. Bar: 1 cm. d Expression level of CmBES1 in WT and OX transgenic plants. The error bars indicate SEs (n = 3). The differences were analyzed by Duncan’s multiple range test. The different lowercase letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05). e Corolla tube merged degree between the outermost ray florets. The error bars indicate SEs (n > 100). The differences were analyzed by Duncan’s multiple range test. The different lowercase letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.01)
