Fig. 3From: Identification, characterization and functional analysis of AGAMOUS subfamily genes associated with floral organs and seed development in Marigold (Tagetes erecta)Expression levels of TeAG and TeAGL11 genes in different tissues and organs of marigold. (a) Heatmap of relative expression of TeAG1, TeAG2, TeAGL11–1 and TeAGL11–2 genes by qRT-PCR in different tissues and organs. Rt: root; Sm: stems; Le: leaves; FB1-FB4: flower buds were 0-1 mm, 2-3 mm, 4–5 mm and 6-7 mm in diameter, respectively; Re: receptacle; Br: bract; RS: sepal of ray floret; RP: petal of ray floret; RPi: pistil of ray floret; Se: sepal of disk floret; Pe: petal of disk floret; St: stamen of disk floret; Pi: pistil of disk floret; Ov: ovary. (b) Heatmap of TeAG1, TeAG2, TeAGL11–1 and TeAGL11–2 genes in the inflorescence of marigold based on the relative expression by qRT-PCR.
