Effects of silencing PhLA on petunia flower. a Petunia flowers with or without PhLA silenced. White flowers of petunia plants infected with either TRV chs/la-1, which contains a conserved fragment of PhLA cDNA, or TRV chs/la-2, which contains a gene specific fragment of PhLA cDNA, shows strongly reflexed corolla lobes. b Relative expression of PhLA in leaves (gray bars) or white flowers (white bars) of petunia plants infected with TRV chs, TRV chs/la-1, or TRV chs/la-2. c Relative expression of PhMYB1 in leaves (gray bars) or white flowers (white bars) of petunia plants infected with TRV chs/la-1 TRV chs, TRV chs/la-1, or TRV chs/la-2. Transcript abundances of PhLA and PhMYB1 are relative to those in white flowers of the TRV chs group. Expression of ACTIN gene was used as an internal control. *Indicates significant differences to the control groups (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.005)
