Figure 5.

Northern-blot analysis of RNA isolated from E. lagascae. RNA was isolated from endosperm (E) and cotyledons (C) of germinating seeds 4 d after sowing and from the flowers (stamens and carpels) of adult plants. Old (O) and young (Y) indicates stages in flower development were Y is a bud and O an immature seed pod. The top panel shows hybridization to a probe specific for E. lagascae elongation factor 1-α (EF1α), to verify that roughly the same amounts of RNA had been loaded in each well. The middle panel displays hybridization to the ElLTP1 probe, and the bottom panel displays hybridization to the ElLTP2 probe. The numbers to the left indicates approximate transcript sizes.
