Expression of genes associated with insect damage in developing stems of field-grown and greenhouse-grown maize. a Expression in maize B73 of genes associated with larval penetrations during stem development. Transcript levels in rind tissues from Internodes 9 through 2 from field-grown plants were normalized and compared as counts per 20 M reads. Values are the mean ± variance or S.D. of two or three independent rind collections, respectively. Genes with expression greater than 500 reads per 20 M were ordered by their ratio of expression (black diamonds) in secondary cell-wall-forming tissues (Internodes 5 and 4) to elongating tissue (Internodes 8 and 6). b Differential expression in maize B73 and Mo17 of genes associated with larval penetrations during stem development. Transcript levels in rind tissues of greenhouse-grown plants taken at elongation stages (Internodes 8 and 6) and secondary wall synthesis stages (Internodes 5 and 4) of each inbred were pooled and normalized and compared as counts per 20 M reads
