Expression of TcFT in various tissues of vegetative and flowering Scavina-6 trees. Bar charts illustrate the relative expression level of TcFT in leaves, roots, buds, apices, and floral tissues. The geometric mean of control genes TcTUB1, TcCULLIN, and TcSUMO expression was used to normalize TcFT expression. The log of expression values is shown and was scaled to the sample having minimum expression. V = vegetative, F = Flowering, LA = Stage A (young) leaf, LC = Stage C (intermediate) leaf, LE = Stage E (mature) leaf, RT = root, OAB = orthotropic (main trunk) axillary bud, PAB = plagiotropic (lateral crown branch) axillary bud, PTA = plagiotropic terminal apex, FB = floral bud and OF = open flower. A one-way ANOVA comparing each group mean to every other group mean was used to evaluate the datasets. A Tukey’s post-hoc test was used to correct for multiple comparisons. * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01, and *** = p < 0.001
