Fig. 2: Flower development in WT and TG plants.
From: MiR396 is involved in plant response to vernalization and flower development in Agrostis stolonifera
Vernalized WT and TG plants under LD conditions for a 4 weeks, b 6 weeks, and c 8 weeks. Scale bar, 10 cm. WT and TG spikelets after LD induction for d 4 weeks, e 6 weeks, and f 8 weeks. Scale bar, 1 cm. Close up of WT and TG spikelets at g 6 weeks and (i) 8 weeks after LD induction. Scale bar, 500 µm. Representative WT and TG floralets at h 6 weeks and j 8 weeks after LD induction. Scale bar, 500 µm. k Representative anthers of WT and TG plants. Scale bar, 100 µm. l Anther lengths of WT & transgenic turfgrass overexpressing Osa-miR396c were measured at the same stage after flowering. Data are shown as means (n = 6) with standard error. A significant difference between WT and TG anther length was indicated with asterisks at P < 0.001 by Student’s t test. m WT and n TG pollen was stained with potassium iodide. Scale bar, 100 µm
