Figure 5.

Northern blots of total RNA from the endosperm caps of 24-h-imbibed tomato seeds prior to radicle emergence (0 mm) and from the lateral endosperms of germinated seeds (2–20 mm in radicle length), hybridized with LeMAN1 and LeMAN2 riboprobes, respectively. A representative seed or seedling at each stage is shown. Ethidium bromide-stained ribosomal RNA bands are shown under the blots to indicate RNA loading of each lane.
