<i>NF-YB</i> overexpression results in late germination.

<p>A–B) <i>nf-yb2</i>, <i>nf-yb3</i> and <i>nf-yb2/b3</i> double mutants on B5 and B5+1 µM ABA media. C–D) <i>p35S::NF-YB2</i> and <i>p35S::NF-YB3</i> on B5 and B5+1 uM ABA media. Germination data is compilation of two experiments (total of n = 6 replicates per genotype) using independent sets of matched seeds. Each replicate contained at least 30 seeds. A Fisher’s Exact Test was performed for both mutants (no difference) and overexpression lines at 84 hrs post-incubation. Both overexpression lines were significantly different (p<0.01) from parental Col-0. Separate, independent <i>NF-YB</i> overexpression lines had similar results.
