Fig. 6: ZmOM66 overexpression changed expression of floral transition genes.
From: A LTR retrotransposon insertion leads to leafy phenotype in maize by elevating ZmOM66 expression

a The circadian clock genes, downstream integrator genes, and floral meristem identity genes in maize floral transition. Compared to WT, genes with altered expression in ZmOM66 OE lines are shown in red; b–d Expression of circadian clock gene ZmGI2 (b), ZmPRR7 (c), and ZmPRR5 (d) in response to rhythm change in leaves of ZmOM66 OE lines and WT. ZT indicates the zeitgeber time and the start of a day is set as ZT0; e, f Expression of previously reported floral transition genes10,18,19,20 in maize leaves (e) and shoot tip (f) of WT and ZmOM66 OE lines at ZT0. The error bars indicate mean ± SD. A two-tailed Student’s t-test was used to determine P-values between OE and WT. ND, not detected. In b to f, each experiment was repeated three times independently.
