Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A–D ) CER7-GFP expression driven by the constitutive RPS5A promoter (A), the seed coat-specific dVPE promoter (B), the BAN promoter (C), or a combination of both dVPE and BAN promoters (D). Green represents GFP expression, blue shows autofluorescence. Scale bar 50 µm. ( E ) Stems of 6 week old cer7;pRPS5A::CER7-GFP (left) and cer7;pBAN::CER7-GFP;pdVPE::CER7-GFP (right). White arrows indicate glossy stem phenotype. Scale bar 200 µm. ( F-I ) Quantification of seed abortion in mature siliques in cer7 mutants expressing CER7-GFP under the constitutive RPS5A promoter (F), the seed coat-specific inner integument (ii1) BAN promoter (G), the ii2-3 specific dVPE promoter (H) and the combined expression of d VPE and BAN promoters (ii1-3) (I). Representative images of the indicated siliques depicted in the bottom panels. Numbers of analyzed seeds are indicated on the right side of the graph. DAP, days after pollination. L, individual transgenic line. Pairwise t-test, **P-value < 0.01; * P-value < 0.05; ns, not significant.
Article Snippet: Siliques were dissected at 3 days after pollination (DAP), and approximately 500 seeds per genotype were collected and stored in RNAlater solution (ThermoFisher, AM7021).
