Transcript levels of At2g02360 in the trichomes isolated from rosette leaves of WT A. thaliana plants of Col-0 or Ler-0 ecotype compared to corresponding gene expression levels in complete rosette leaves from WT A. thaliana plants of Col-0 or Ler-0 ecotype or of GLABRA1 A. thaliana plants. Relative transcript levels were determined in 3-, 4- and 5-week-old plants by qRT-PCR analyses of two independent biological experiments, each with two technical replicates; error bars ± SE. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differential expression compared to control samples (complete rosette leaf material). a, gene expression levels in the trichomes of WT A. thaliana Col-0 plants compared to complete rosette leaves from WT A. thaliana Col-0 plants. b, gene expression levels in the trichomes of WT A. thaliana Ler-0 plants compared to complete rosette leaves of WT A. thaliana Ler-0 plants or compared to complete rosette leaves of GLABRA1 A. thaliana plants as well as in complete rosette leaves of WT A. thaliana Ler-0 plants compared to complete rosette leaves of GLABRA1 plants. c, Comparison of gene expression levels for F-box-Nictaba in the trichomes and in complete rosette leaves of WT A. thaliana Col-0 compared to WT A. thaliana Ler-0 plants
