mRNA accumulation of CrPrx1, Str, and D4h in different organs and leaf developmental stages of C. roseus. Str codes for an enzyme of the beginning of the indole alkaloid pathway and D4h codes for an enzyme of a later part of the indole alkaloid pathway, near the dimerization step. 1st, First pair of leaves; FD, fully developed leaves; PS, presenescent leaves; S, senescent leaves; Pet, petals; RO, reproductive organs; R, roots. For identification of developmental stages, see Figure 9A. Duplicate results are presented.
