From: Dosage imbalance of B- and C-class genes causes petaloid-stamen relating to F1 hybrid variation
Comparative expression analyses of CYC-like genes. Real-time PCR were carried out in wild-type and petaloid-stamen mutant flowers of Petrocosmea glabristoma × Petrocosmea sericea F1 hybrids. CYC1C (a) and CYC1D (b) are both highly expressed in dorsal petals as well as dorsal and lateral third floral whorl organs in both the wild-type and mutant flower with a similar expression level. ACTIN gene was amplified as an internal control. The values shown (mean ± SD) are the average of three biological replicates with each for three technical repeats. Asterisks indicate that mean values are significantly different between the mutants and their wild-type counterparts (P < 0.05). S, sepal; Dp, dorsal petal; Lp, lateral petal; Vp, ventral petal; Dst, dorsal stamen or petaloid-stamen; Lst, lateral stamen or petaloid-stamen; Vst, ventral stamen or petaloid-stamen; C, carpel; WT, wild-type; MU, mutant
