Expression patterns of LIP5. (A) qRT-PCR analysis of LIP5 expression in different organs. Transcript levels of LIP5 were quantified by qRT-PCR against Actin2. For each assay, the expression level at 10-days-old seedlings stage was defined as 1.0 and three technical replicates were conducted. Data shown are mean ± SE of three independent experiments. (B) GUS staining of LIP5pro:GUS transgenic plants from different growth stages. (a) 1-day-old germinating seedling; (b) 2-days-old seedling; (c) 3-days-old seedling; (d) 4-days-old seedling; (e) 2-weeks-old seedling; (f) inflorescences from 7-weeks-old plants; (g) flower from 7-weeks-old plants. Experiments were repeated at least two times with similar results.
