CgCP expression reduces plant growth and delays the timing of floral transition. Measurements were taken in MOF-treated WT Col-0 and MOF-treated CP#72 plants. Data were compared to non-induced CP#72(−) plants (water treated). A) Bar graph showing plant height (6-weeks-old) and B) floral transition (number of days to first flower). Each column represents the mean of 25 plants ± SE. C) Representative WT Col-0 and CP#72 transgenic 6-week-old plants grown in presence of MOF (MOF) or water (−). D) Bar graph showing the average fresh weight of Col-0 (WT) and CP#72 transgenic 10-day-old seedlings grown in presence of MOF (MOF) or water (−) for 7 days. Each column represents the mean value of 18 plants ± SE. E) Representative 10-day-old CP#72 transgenic plants grown in presence of MOF (MOF) or water (−) for 7 days. Similar results were obtained in two independent experiments for all measurements. Different letters above the bars represent the significant differences among samples, p-values ≤ 0.05.
