Characterization and functional analysis of GhWRKY42, a group IId WRKY gene, in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Table 1 Comparison of flowering time and rosette leaf numbers

Genotype^a	Anthesis(DAS)^b	Number of rosette leaves	N
WT	31.86 ± 0.99	12.53 ± 1.48	36
Line 1	30.78 ± 1.29^**	11.67 ± 1.41^*	36
Line 2	31.03 ± 1.38^*	11.86 ± 1.40	36
Line 3	30.61 ± 1.34^**	11.25 ± 1.5^**	36

Plants were grown under long days (16 h/8 h)
*Values significantly differ from those of WT at the 0.05 confidence level
**Values significantly differ from those of WT at the 0.01 the confidence level
^aGenetic background: Columbia; transgenic lines of GhWRKY42
^bIndicators of anthesis [days after sowing (DAS)] are shown as the means ± standard deviation (SD)
N represents the number of plants used for statistics
