OsMADS26 is expressed in shoots and roots and induced by osmotic stress. A, Expression of OsMADS26 in different organs of 7-d-old rice seedlings cultivated in standard condition (MS). CR, Crown root; L, leaf; S, stem base; SR+A, seminal root apex; SR−A, seminal root without apex. B and C, Expression patterns of OsMADS26 in root (B) and shoot (C) in standard condition (C) or under osmotic stress (OS; MS + 100 mm mannitol). Means and se were calculated from two independent experiments consisting of three technical replicates each. A Student’s t test was used to compare the relative expression level observed in standard and stress conditions. *, Significant difference with P < 0.05.
