Analysis of the expression of the Llccs and LllcyB genes in L. lancifolium. (a) Four stages in the development of buds, indicated as B1–B4. (b) Results of analysis by RT–PCR showing relative levels of transcripts of the Llccs and LllcyB genes with the lily gene for actin as a control for normalization, in leaves (L), buds at four developmental stages (B1–B4) and fully opened flowers (F). (c) Relative levels of expression of the Llccs and LllcyB genes normalized with respect to expression of the gene for actin and expressed as percentages relative to the maximal level among individual developmental stages.
