Expression of SbSUTs and SbTSTs in specified stem developmental zones of internodes at booting. Transporter transcript levels relative to SbEF-1α measured within specified developmental zones of elongating Internode 10 and fully elongated Internode 4 (Supplemental Fig. S5). A, SbSUT1; B, SbSUT4; C, SbSUT5; D, SbTST1; E, SbTST2. Columns with vertical bars respectively represent the mean ± sd of five biological replicates. “(a)” and “(b)” distinguish multiple transition and mature zones harvested at booting. The descriptors “transition” and “mature” refer to the extent of lignification/suberization predominantly in the inner regions of the internode (for further details, see Milne et al., 2015).
