Silencing <i>GmFTL</i>s delays flowering and inhibits growth.

<p>(A) A <i>GmFTL</i>-RNAi transgenic (right) and wild type (left) soybean plants grown in the field for 40 days. (B) Flowering time of transgenic lines. The total number of plants: WT, 69; Transgenic lines, 643. (C) The flowering time of transgenic lines used for analysis of <i>GmFTL</i> relative expression level (REL, D to I). (D to I) Endogenous <i>GmFTL</i> relative expression level in <i>GmFTL</i> silencing lines. Trifoliolates were sampled at 40 days after sowing and leaves from five plants of each line were mixed for RT-qPCR (C to I). Data are mean +/- SD from three technical replicates.
