Expression pattern of OsbZIP58. (A) Expression patterns of OsbZIP58 in roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seedlings, and seeds analysed by qRT-PCR. The developmental stage of the seed is indicated by DAF. Rice OsAct1 was used as a control. (B, C) Detection of OsbZIP58 mRNA in cross-sections of a maturing rice seed by in situ hybridization at 5 DAF (B) and 7 DAF (C). The region expressing OsbZIP58 is shown in purple. Antisense strand was used as a probe. (D) In situ hybridization with a sense-strand probe in maturing rice seed at 7 DAF. P, Pericarp; DV, dorsal vascular; E, endosperm. Bars, 100 μm (B); 200 μm (C, D).
