Overexpression of <i>AtLOV1</i> caused erect leaf phenotype in switchgrass. XuBin SathitsuksanohNoppadon TangYuhong K. UdvardiMichael ZhangJi-Yi ShenZhengxing BalotaMaria HarichKim Y.-H. ZhangPercival ZhaoBingyu 2012 <p>(<b>A</b>) Transgenic plants had smaller leaf angles compared to wild type (WT). (<b>B</b>) The leaf angles of four independent T<sub>0</sub> transgenic lines were associated with the expression of <i>AtLOV1</i> in plants as detected by RT-PCR (noting that <i>AtLOV1</i> pre-mRNA could be alternatively spliced in switchgrass, yielding the transcripts <i>AtLOV1.1</i> and <i>AtLOV1.2</i>). Different letters above the bars indicate statistically significant differences (α = 0.01). (<b>C</b>) Southern blot analysis with an <i>hph</i> probe showed T-DNA integration in five T<sub>0</sub> transgenic lines.</p>
