Expression profiles of CsLAC genes in eight different tissues. The eight tissues include the apical bud, the first leaf, the second leaf, the third leaf, budding flowers, young fruits, young roots and young stems. (A) Expression patterns of the 51 CsLAC genes in eight tissues based on mRNA-seq data. The colour scale on the right indicates log2 transformed TPM values, which represent high and low expression, respectively. (B) Expression levels of six genes in eight different tissues using qRT‒PCR. The expression values are the mean ± standard deviation of three independent biological replicates, and each biological replicate contained three technical replicates. Different letters above the bars denote significant differences at P < 0.05
