Abnormal morphology of transgenic Arabidopsis plants containing 35S:TeAGL11–1 and expression levels of genes related to floral organ development and seed formation. (a) The wild-type seedling. (b, c, e, f, h, i, j) Phenotype of Sl-TeAGL11–1 lines. (b) The transgenic seedlings with severely curled rosette leaves. (c) Wild-type and 35S:TeAGL11–1 transgenic plant with early flowering. (d, g) Wild-type flowers. (e, f, h) Transgenic flowers. (i) Wild-type (left) and transgenic plant (right) with smaller plants. (j, k) The siliques are almost seedless and short with unabscised sepals (j), compared to those from wild-type (k). (l-o) Phenotype of Wl-TeAGL11–1 lines. (l) The transgenic seedlings with severely curled rosette leaves. (m) Wild-type (left) and transgenic plant (right) with smaller plants. (n) Transgenic flowers. (o) The smaller siliques (right). se: sepal; pe: petal; st: stamen; pi: pistil, a-c, i, l, m. o, bar = 5 mm; d-h, j, k, n bar = 1 mm. (p) Statistics for main morphological traits of the control and transgenic plants, * significant difference at P < 0.05. (q) Expression levels of genes related to floral organ development and seed formation in control and transgenic Arabidopsis flowers by qRT- PCR analysis. WT1: wild-type line 1; WT2: wild-type line 2; WL1: Wl-TeAGL11–1 line 1; WL2: Wl-TeAGL11–1 line 2; SL1: Sl-TeAGL11–1 line 1; SL2: Sl-TeAGL11–1 line 2. * expression level of endogenous genes in transgenic plants was 2 times higher or 1/2 lower than that in wild-type plants
