Effects of abscisic acid (ABA) treatment on the expression levels of gibberellin (GA) metabolism genes in imbibed lettuce seeds

Abstract

(A) The expression levels of the genes were analysed by QRT-PCR. The results were normalized to the expression of 18S rRNA (internal control), and the expression levels of all genes examined are given relative to the reference value of the transcript level of at 0 h, set to 1. Three independent experiments were performed, and means with standard errors are shown. (B) Expression analysis using seeds that had been cut in half. The results were normalized to the expression of 18S rRNA (internal control), and the highest value was set to 100. Two independent experiments were performed, and means with standard errors are shown.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Germination of photoblastic lettuce seeds is regulated via the control of endogenous physiologically active gibberellin content, rather than of gibberellin responsiveness"</p><p></p><p>Journal of Experimental Botany 2008;59(12):3383-3393.</p><p>Published online 24 Jul 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2529229.</p><p></p
