Claim · model-written summary
The authors suggest the AP1 expression differences may result from demethylation of a gene upstream of AP1 affected by the demethylation treatment.

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Cytosine methylation remained constant over 24 hours in the control line RC and the early-flowering line RE2 in all three tissues examined.
- Intervention effect The short-day (8-hour-day) treatment delayed flowering in the flax lines relative to ambient long-day light.
- Intervention effect The short-day treatment increased the number of leaves produced in all flax lines relative to ambient long-day light.
- Intervention effect The short-day treatment had less of an effect on the early-flowering lines than on the controls.
- Observation The five putative flowering genes SOC1, COL, ADG1, GAI and AP1 are all expressed in both leaves and shoot tips of flax.
- Intervention effect For most of the examined genes there was no indication that expression was altered by the demethylation treatment.
- Observation AP1 expression was higher in leaves of RE2 than in leaves of RC.
- Observation AP1 expression reached higher levels in the buds of RE2 than in the buds of RC.
