Fig. 6. Ectopic expression of floral homeotic genes in leaves of AtMSI1-CS
plants. RNA was isolated from (A) floral buds and open flowers of wild-type
plants and leaves of wild-type and AtMSI1-CS, and (B) flowers of
wild-type and leaves of fas1, fas2 and fas1 fas2 plants
before bolting. After treatment with DNAseI, RNA was subjected to reverse
transcription in the presence (+) or absence (-) of reverse transcriptase
using oligo(dT) primers. PCR with different cDNA-specific primers was
performed on aliquots of the produced cDNA (10 ng total RNA from flowers and
50 ng total RNA from leaves).
