Figure 1From: Functional characterization of a tomato COBRA-likegene functioning in fruit development and ripeningExpression pattern of the SlCOBRA-like gene in tomato. (A) Expression of SlCOBRA-like in various tissues. Total RNAs were extracted from seedling roots, seedling stems, fully expanded leaves, flowers and pericarp at different developmental stages (15 day-post anthesis, DPA; 25 DPA; MG, mature green, 35 DPA; Br, Breaker and RR, 7 days after Breaker, respectively). (B) Spatial expression of SlCOBRA-like in fruits at 15 DPA. Real-time RT-PCR analysis was performed as described in Methods. Average values and standard errors are shown from three independent replicates.Back to article page
