Figure 8. Differential gene expression profiles of 12 candidate genes in mature seeds of ICC 4958 and ICC 1882 genotypes.

Figure 8

Expression of 12 genes in mature seeds of ICC 4958 (high 100SDW) and ICC 1882 (low 100SDW) was carried out to determine their role in controlling seed weight trait. All genes except Ca_04565, Ca_04568 and Ca_04570 were found to be significantly upregulated in ICC 4958 genotype compared to ICC 1882. Most of the upregulated genes showed no or negligible expression in ICC 1882 genotype. Genes such as Ca_04564, which encodes a ‘Leucine-rich repeat extensin-like protein’ showed about nine fold higher expression in ICC 4958 than ICC 1882.
