Fig. 5From: Rhizosphere microorganisms can influence the timing of plant floweringIAA delayed flowering time by downregulating genes involved in flowering. a Proportion of bolting (i.e., percentage of plants had floral buds of 1ācm or larger). Plants were hydroponically grown in MS medium containing 5ānM and 25ānM IAA. b Relative rates of transcription of genes involved in flowering in Wt Arabidopsis at the early, intermediate (Int.), and late stages of flowering after one generation of culture. Plants were hydroponically grown in MS medium containing 5ānM IAA. All transcription levels are normalized to that of a housekeeping gene (actin 2). Values are meansāĀ±āSDs (nā=ā6). Asterisk represents a significant difference (pā<ā0.05)Back to article page
