Figure 2. Different parentally biased transcripts arising from the Os01g70060 gene as a result of novel splicing and polyadenylation.

A cartoon of the gene structure is shown with exons in green. The structure of the paternally biased transcript detected is shown with blue exons and the various maternally biased transcripts generated from the gene are shown with red exons. The positions of the primers used to detect transcripts are shown by arrows with the primer names as indicated. Further details are provided in Materials and Methods and confirmation of parental bias using RT-PCR and sequencing is provided in Figure S5. The transcripts terminate at a range of different positions as indicated in the text, and the transcripts are polyadenylated.
