Figure 3

Relative levels of METC gene expression in WT, RfBP +, and RfBP −plants. Water and aqueous solutions of riboflavin and rotenone were used separately to immerse seeds and treat 10-day-old plants by spraying over plant tops. Gene expression in the two youngest expanded leaves of 12-day-old plants was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR using EF1α as a reference gene. Data shown are average values ± standard deviations of results from six experimental repeats each containing 15 individuals of 12-day-old plants. Different letters in regular and italic fonts indicate significant differences by analysis of variance using Fisher’s least significant difference test and Tukey-Kramer’s test, respectively (n = 6; P < 0.01), for every of 13 data pairs shown within the range of bidirectional arrowhead line.
