【Fig.3】Effects of Everlastin1 on longevity of flowers of Japanese morning glory

Caption

In morning glory flowers treated with Everlastin1, Everlastin1 inhibits the dimerization of EPH1 and EPH1 is unable to bind to its target DNA sequences. As a result, the activation of  the programmed cell death-related genes was suppressed and flower longevity was prolonged: Everlastin1 treatment extended the longevity of morning glory flowers by approximately twofold.
