Expression of the Arabidopsis Aox gene family. Transcript levels were measured for each of the Aox genes from Arabidopsis in different tissues and at different developmental stages using real time PCR, using three independent cDNA preparations. The expression of three ribosomal protein genes, RspI, Rsp8, and Rsp13, is shown for comparison. The tissues examined were roots from 4-, 6-, and 10-d-old plants (4dR, 6dR, and 10dR); cotyledons from 4-, 6-, and 10-d-old plants (4dC, 6dC, and 10dC); the first rosette leaf from 10-, 15-, 20-, and 25-d-old plants (10 dL, 15 dL, 20 dL, and 25 dL); mature flowers (FLO); and young floral buds (FB). The transcript amounts are presented as absolute transcript abundance in moles per microgram of total RNA.
