Figure 4.
DNA and RNA levels of LTR retrotransposons in ddm1 and rdr6 mutants. (A) DNA copy numbers of EVADE, ATGP3, and SISYPHUS in ddm1 and ddm1rdr6 were normalized with a single copy gene (AT5G13440). (B) RT-qPCR data of EVADE elements using POL primers; y-axis indicates relative levels of EVADE genomic RNA to WT after normalization to ACT2. (C,D) EVADE DNA copy number and genomic RNA levels were analyzed in F2 and F3 progenies of F1 plants carrying active EVADE epigenetically inherited from parental rdr6/+ (Epi) crossed with WT pollen. Error bars, SD (n = 3).
