OsFKBP16-3 gene expression levels. (A) Transcript levels of OsFKBP16-3 gene in various tissues and developmental stages, as detected by semi-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and real-time quantitative RT-PCR. cDNA templates from endosperm (En), root (Ro), sheath (Sh), stem (St) and leaf (Le) were used for amplification. Rice Actin1 gene was used as a control; (B) Expression level of OsFKBP16-3 in rice seedlings under various stress conditions. RNAs were isolated from 10-day-old seedlings that were exposed to 200 mM NaCl, desiccation (for drought), 800 μmol photons m2 s−1 (for high light treatment), 10 mM H2O2, 10 μM methyl viologen (MV) or 42 °C heat at the indicated time points. Means and SD were calculated from three independent experiments.
