Expression patterns of OsSIP1 and OsSIP2 in various tissues of rice (O. sativa L. cv. Nipponbare) at different developmental stages. Transcript levels are expressed relative to rice OsACTIN in each sample, and values are mean ± SD. Mean and SD values were obtained from three biological replicates and three technical replicates (A). Expression profiles of the OsSIPs promoter::GUS fusions in O. sativa L. cv. Nipponbare (B). pOsSIP1::GUS, (a–l), pOsSIP2::GUS, (m–x). (a, m) Seeds germinated for 2 days; (b, n) Seeds germinated for 4 days; (c, o) adventitious roots; (d)root hair; (e, p) root tip; (f, g, r, s) stem; (h, t) leaf sheath; (i, j, u, v) leaf blade; (k, w) anthers; (l, x) glume.
