Figure 7. Expression analysis of TaMADS32 in wild-type and transgenic Arabidopsis plants. Relative expression in Arabidopsis plants (a); WT, the wild-type plant; L, the transgenic Arabidopsis. RT-PCR analysis of TaMADS32 gene and Actin in Arabidopsis. M, Marker, L1, L2, transgenic Arabidopsis lines, WT, wild-type Arabidopsis (b); expression patterns of the gene in transgenic Arabidopsis by RT-qPCR in normal conditions, cold, drought, ABA, heat and NaCl stress (c). The expression levels are normalized to Actin with three biological replicates. Note: CK means no stress, * Significance at the 0.05 probability level, **Significance at the 0.01 probability level.
