Relative gene expression in the shoot apex or leaf samples of LD grown plants of EB genotype compared to SD genotype. Ct values of genes of interest were normalized against Ctvalues of MSI1 and FVE to get normalized ΔCt values. The expression ratios between genotypes (EB/SD) were calculated from the formula 2ΔCtEB/2ΔCtSD. Values are mean ± standard deviation. Pooled shoot apex samples and leaf samples at four leaf stage were used.
