Fig. 7From: A regulatory GhBPE-GhPRGL module maintains ray petal length in Gerbera hybridaThe GhBPE-GhPRGL module regulates ray petal elongation in gerbera via crosstalk between JA and GA. A Phenotypes of ray petals treated with 50 μM JA and deionized water (control) for 7 days. Scale bar = 1 cm. B Ray petal length after treated with 50 μM JA and deionized water (control) for 7 days. The expression levels of GhBPE (C) and GhPRGL (D) in S3 ray petals were detected at different time points (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h) under the deionized water (control), GA (10 μM), and JA (50 μM) treatments. Relative expression levels of GhBPE and GhPRGL in different tissues (E) and in ray petal growth stages (S1–S6, where ‘S’ denotes ‘stage’) (F). Values are the mean ± SD from three biological replicates. Tukey’s HSD: ** P < 0.01Back to article page
