Floral stages and dissected organs of B. frutescens with corresponding expression studies. Inflorescence (a) and floral bud (b) at Stage 0 (S0). Floral buds at stages S1 (c), S2 (d) and S3 (e). f Flowers at anthesis. Young (Fr1) (g) and mature fruits (Fr2) (h). i Leaves. j Locus-specific RT-PCR results for all isolated MADS-box genes. Sepals (S), stamens (St) and carpels (C) were also dissected individually at stages S1, S2, S3. ACTIN (BofrACT) was used as a positive control. L Leaf. Numbers after S and Fr correspond to the different developmental stages. Relative expression patterns of BofrAP3 (k), BofrPI1/3 (l), BofrPI2/4 (m), BofrAG (n), BofrFL2 (o), BofrFL3 (p) in selected floral organs. Values are mean ± SD for three technical replicates. Bars in a–i = 0.5 mm
