Variation in the flowering time orthologs BrFLC and BrSOC1 in a natural population of Brassica rapa by Steven J. Franks, Beatriz Perez-Sweeney, Maya Strahl, Anna Nowogrodzki, Jennifer J. Weber, Rebecca Lalchan, Kevin P. Jordan, Amy Litt

“…As expected, we found that total expression of BrSOC1 paralogs was significantly greater in early than in late flowering plants. Paralog-specific primers showed that expression was greater in early flowering plants in the BrSOC1 paralogs Br004928, Br00393 and Br009324, although the difference was not significant in Br009324. …”
