From: Root parasitic plant Orobanche aegyptiaca and shoot parasitic plant Cuscuta australis obtained Brassicaceae-specific strictosidine synthase-like genes by horizontal gene transfer

Figure 4

Expression levels of the OaSSL gene at different developmental stages. The numbers of mapped reads mapped to the cDNA were shown in the left Y-axis. The normalized expression levels were estimated by the fragments per kilo base of exon per million fragments mapped (FPKM, one fragment refers to a pair of reads from the paired-end data) in Illumina RNA-seq datasets that are from different developmental stages (PPGP). 0G, seeds imbibed, pre-germination; 2G, seedling after exposure to haustorial induction factors; 3G, haustoria attached to host root; early penetration stages, pre-vascular connection; 4.1G, early established parasite; parasite vegetative growth after vascular connection; 4.2G, spider stage; 5.1G, pre-emergence from soil - shoots; 5.2G, pre-emergence from soil - roots; 6.1G, post emergence from soil - vegetative structures, leaves/stems; 6.2G, post emergence from soil - reproductive structures, floral buds.
