Comparing the mean expression values of BR-biosynthesis genes in the bri1–5 mutant and suppressor lines. For each line (WS2, bri1–5, and suppressors) the average log2 expression values of gene expression across replicates are given for the indicated BRs biosynthesis genes. The squares indicate the location of the mean and bars show the 95% confidence interval for the mean. The main BR-biosynthesis genes are affected in the bri1–5 mutant and all suppressors. However, the plots show that BR-biosynthesis genes are less affected in the line (bri1–5/bak1–1D) that best suppresses the bri1–5 phenotype. Pairwise comparisons between the average values were performed using Tukey’s post hoc test. Groups are ranked based on their significance mean where “a” is representing the group with the highest mean and “d” the group with the lowest mean. Groups indicated with different letters are significantly different
