Bkn3 and KIBP gene expression profiles throughout barley development. A, RT-PCR analysis of total RNA extracted from seedling roots (sr), seedling stems (ss), and seedling leaves (sl). B, RT-PCR analysis of total RNA extracted from developing leaves (dl) and immature inflorescences (ii) of 4-week-old plants. C, RT-PCR analysis of total RNA extracted from lemmas (le), wild-type awns (a) or Hooded ectopic structures (es), and flag leaves (fl) of 7-week-old plants. The Ubiquitin (UBQ) gene was used as control. wt, Cultivar Atlas; K, Kap mutant in background Atlas.
