Expression of SoGA20ox1, SoGA3ox1, and SoGA2ox1 in male flowers (♂), female flowers (♀), stems (St), and shoot tips (ShT). Spinach plants were harvested after more than 3 weeks in LD conditions. In this case, the shoot tips included the upper 1 cm of the shoots; stems were the next 1 cm of the elongated stems. The numbers under the blots indicate the relative amount of each transcript after standardization using SoActin as a loading control. The value of the transcript level of each gene in male flowers was arbitrarily set at 1.0.
