Expression pattern profiling of cucumber AQP genes. The different tissues used for expression analysis including root, leaf, seed, ovary, flower, fruit, pedicle, and stem. Experimental design: CT, control; DAP, day after pollination; DAL, the normal ovary blooms at 4–5 days after labeling (when the ovary is visible); tbh, a tiny branched hair mutant; Y05, fruit spine on fruits of 0.5 cm long; Y16, fruit spine on fruits of 1.6 cm long; WT, wild type cucumber; CsDZ, Root differentiation zone; CsEZ, Root elongation zone; CsMZ, Root meristematic zone; Ch, treated with chrysophanol; Ph, treated with physcion; GA_12h, treated with GA at 12 h; GA_6h, treated with GA at 6 h. Red indicates high concentrations, whereas low relative concentrations are deep blue. Data were normalized. Expression values are given after logarithmic transformation of RPKM (reads per kilobase of exon model per million mapped reads).
