Figure 4: GA3 induced flowering and EaLFY expression.
From: Gibberellin deficiency is responsible for shy-flowering nature of Epipremnum aureum
(a) The size (length x width (cm2)) of the young fully expanded leaf was recorded weekly. Data plotted were the average (n = 5) ±s.d. Arrow indicates the time of GA3 treatment. (b) Appearance of flower bud (white arrow) in VG plants. (c) Appearance of small flower bud (white arrow) in HG plants. (d) Inflorescence consisting of a leaf-shaped spathe and a spadix. (e) Close-up of inflorescence with many small, pentacyclic and prism-shaped female flowers (black arrows) tightly packed together. (f) Stamen of a male flower with anthers (yellow arrows) hidden between female flowers. (g) RT-PCR results of EaLFY and 18s rRNA from three GA3 treated (+GA3) and three untreated (−GA3) VG (upper panel) and HG (lower panel) plants.
