Expression analyses of Organ Identity Genes (OIGs) from C. grandis. Expression patterns of CgPI (A) and CgAG (B) in flower buds of male, female and gynomonoecious (GyM) C. grandis at different developmental stages (early, middle and late) by quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR). Stamen specific expression patterns of CgPI (C) and CgAG (D) from flowers (late developmental stage) of male, female (rudimentary), hermaphrodite (GyM-H) and pistillate (GyM-F, rudimentary) flowers of gynomonoecious (GyM) and converted flowers of AgNO₃ treated plants. Error bars indicate SD (standard deviation) of three biological replicates each with three technical replicates. Asterisks indicate statistical differences as determined using single factor ANOVA (*P <0.05 and **P <0.01). Early: from 3^rd to 5^th stages, middle: 6^th to 8^th stages, late: 9^th to 12^th stages.
