For real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), the seedlings, vertically grown on MS medium for 7 days, transferred to new MS medium with or without 1 μM estradiol (10 mM stock in EtOH), incubated vertically at 23 °C under continuous light for additional 3 days, were used. Total RNA was extracted with an RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen). Complementary DNA (cDNA) was synthesized from 0.5 mg of total RNA treated by ReverTra Ace qPCR RT Master Mix with gDNA Remover (Toyobo) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KAPA SYBER FAST qPCR Kit was used for the preparation of real-time qPCR mix, and then real-time qPCR was performed using the LightCycler 96 Real-Time PCR System. Based on the results of three technical repeats for three biological replicates, mesenger RNA relative expression levels (in arbitrary units) were determined using standard curves for LZY3-mCherry and ACT8 generated by serial dilutions of cDNA. For semi-quantitative RT-PCR, cDNA was synthesized from 1 µg of total RNA from 10-day-old seedlings with ReverTra Ace qPCR RT Master Mix with gDNA Remover (Toyobo) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. ACT8 was used as an internal control. All primer sequences are listed in the Supplementary Table 4.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
