Fig. 6From: Conserved and non-conserved functions of the rice homologs of the Arabidopsis trichome initiation-regulating MBW complex proteinsEctopic expression of OsTTG1A restored trichome phenotype in the ttg1 mutants. a Expression of TTG1 and OsTTG1A in the Ler wild type, the ttg1 mutant and the 35S:OsTTG1/ttg1 transgenic plants. RNA was isolated from 10-day-old seedlings, and RT-PCR was used to examine the expression of TTG1 and OsTTG1A. The expression of ACT2 was used as a control. b Trichome formation in leaves (up panel) and stems (lower panel) of the Ler wild type, the ttg1 mutant and 35S:OsTTG1/ttg1 transgenic plants. Bar, 1 mm. c Number of leaf trichomes in the Ler wild-type, the ttg1 mutant and 35S:OsTTG1/ttg1 transgenic plants. Data represent the mean ± SD of 12 plantsBack to article page
