Quantitative real time RT-PCR analysis of HvDME during seed development in Caresse and Ippolytos. Expression values were normalized to those of HvActin. The relative expression ratio of each sample is compared to the control group which was immature flowers. IF, Immature flowers; 1–3, 3–5, 5–10, 10–15 DAF (seeds at 1–3, 3–5, 5–10, 10–15 days after fertilization). Data represent mean values from two independent experiments with standard deviations. Values significantly different (P < 0.05) from the control group (IF) are marked with an asterisk.
