Fig. 6. Plant growth analysis of wild type and three antisense lines. (A) Plant height at 25, 30 and 35 days post germination. Height of the tallest branch was measured for the antisense plants. Standard deviations are indicated for each sample by vertical lines (n=18 per line). (B) Comparison of time (days post-germination) to the floral transition in wild-type and antisense plants (n=18 per line). The emergence of floral buds was detected in individual plants using a dissecting microscope. (C) Comparison of the average root length in 7-day-old vertically grown wild-type and antisense seedlings (n=48 per line).
