Fig. 9. SMZ and SNZ characterization. (A) Diagram of ALF7 insertion. The cauliflower mosaic virus 35S enhancers are located approximately 1 kb upstream of SMZ, which encodes an AP2-domain protein (2; At3g54990). Other genes in the vicinity of the enhancer are annotated as encoding a putative protein (1; At3g54980), and expressed proteins 3 (At4g55000) and 4 (At3g55005). (B) Expression profiles of SMZ and SNZ. Signals were normalized to the median for each gene. Numbers on the x axis refer to days after transfer to long days. (C) Histogram of flowering times of primary transformants in long days. Range of flowering time of Columbia wild type is indicated below the histogram.
