Expression profiles of the Picea abies dehydrins, the EBB1 orthologs and the FTL2 gene in terminal buds (or shoot tips after bud burst occurred) in CE and WE. For CE and WE, bud burst occurred on May 11th and 25th (2011), respectively. Data represent the arithmetic mean ± standard error of four different biological replicates at each sampling point. Quantified transcript level was normalized to the average of the spruce reference genes PaACTIN, PaelF5α and Paα-TUB
