GhHB12 and GhSPL10 regulate vegetative branches and reproductive development in an antagonistic manner. a–f Photographs of architectures (a) and vegetative branches (b), qRT-PCR analysis of the transcript levels of GhHB12 (c), and GhSPL10 (d), number of vegetative branches (e) and NFFB (f) of WT (wild-type), OE37-WT (hybrid plants of GhHB12-overexpression line and WT), OE37-GhrSPL10 (hybrid plants of GhHB12-overexpression and GhrSPL10-overexpression lines), and WT-GhrSPL10 (hybrid plants of WT and GhrSPL10-overexpression line). The GhUBQ7 gene was used as the endogenous reference gene. The data represent the mean ± SD of three technical replicates in c and d. Error bars in e and f indicate the standard deviation of 9–17 plants, and different letters indicate significant differences at P < 0.05 (Duncan’s multiple range test)
