Gene expression profile for the five UGT and one PLR genes in developing seed sampled at 0, 8, 16, 24, 32 DAA and at maturity as well as in leaves and stems of flax cultivar AC McDuff. A-F, expression profile in developing flax seeds at six developmental stages; A, UGT74S1; B, UGT94H1; C, UGT89B3; D, UGT74T1; E, UGT712B1; F, PLR; G, expression of UGT74S1, UGT94H1, UGT89B3, UGT74T1 and UGT712B1 in flax seeds at 0 and 16 DAA, in leaves and in stems; H, expression of PLR at the same stages as G flax seed at two developmental stages (0 and 16 DAA) and in flax leaf and stem. The expression data were normalized relative to the reference gene at a linear scale averaged over three independent replicates and expressed as normalized fold change. Vertical bars represent standard deviation of the means.
