Fig. 8From: Maize plant architecture trait QTL mapping and candidate gene identification based on multiple environments and double populationsRelative expression levels of three candidate genes in phenotypically different plant samples from the maize at three growing stages analyzed via qRT-PCR. A The expression levels of the LAE-related candidate gene Zm00001d043000 at V6, V10 and V14 stages, respectively. B The expression levels of the PH/EH-related candidate gene Zm00001d042292 at V6, V10 and V14 stages, respectively. C The expression levels of the ILE-related candidate gene Zm00001d025008 at V6, V10 and V14 stages, respectively. **, and * specify the significance at the levels of P < 0.01, and P < 0.05, respectivelyBack to article page
