Figure 4From: Characterization of SQUAMOSA-like genes in Gerbera hybrida, including one involved in reproductive transitionTransgenic Gerbera overexpressing GSQUA2. (a) Gerbera overexpressing GSQUA2 displays dwarf phenotype and flowers early. Wild type cultivar 'Terra Regina' on the left side. Scale bar, 20 cm. (b) Normal Gerbera growth habit is sympodial, the leaves forming a rosette-like structure consisting of tightly packed sympodial units. (c) In plants overexpressing GSQUA2, vegetative axes between sympodial units are strongly elongated compared to the wild type plant. Examples of sympodial units are framed in yellow squares.Back to article page
