Figure 1

Correlation of gene expression with sucrose content. Relative expression of PST5, OAT, AS, dehydrin, TF1, P5CS, Pox and LEA plotted against sucrose content of the lowest internodes (I13-14) of 13 different genotypes. Gene expression is normalised to transcripts of GAPDH and the average value (n = 3) was plotted for each genotype, Q28 (red circle), Q117 (green square), Q124 (red square), Q165 (green circle), Q200 (black circle), Badilla (red triangle), IJ76-237 (red diamond), IJ76-567 (blue circle), NG51-99 (black square), NG77-98 (blue triangle), Mandalay (black triangle), SES 106 (blue square) and Erianthus (green triangle). The R² for each gene is also shown.
