Fig. 4: Expression analysis in morning glory cup flower mutants.
From: Reduction in organ–organ friction is critical for corolla elongation in morning glory
a Number of expressed genes in the leaves and corolla. b SOM clustering of expressed genes. The cluster number is shown in each circle. c RT-PCR results of transcription factor-encoding genes whose expression levels were downregulated in Q532, as revealed through RNA sequencing. The black and blue letters of the cup flower lines indicate cp and cp-r, respectively. The sample tissues were corolla tissues from TKS and Q532 and floral buds from TKS and cup flower lines. The expected band sizes are indicated.
