In fact, 3.5 (±0.3), 3.9 (±0.4), and 3.3 (±0.3) ARs were produced under the HF, 0.01 μM, and 0.04 μM ACC treatments, respectively, with no significant difference among the treatments, whereas the mean AR number was reduced to 2.0 (±0.3) under 0.1 μM ACC (P<0.05 difference in comparison with 0–0.04 μM ACC) and it was further, and strongly, reduced under 1 μM (1.0 ± 0.1). This evidence concerns the gene AR and hydrops fetalis.
