GUS and GFP expression in various tissues of transgenic Arabidopsis plants generated for the constructs GFP::GhZU::GUS. (a,b) Relative expression (transcript) of two reporter genes, that is, gus (a) and gfp (b), detected in various Arabidopsis tissues by qRT-PCR. The data represent the relative expression of the gus and gfp transcripts ± SD of three biological replicates of each tissue (n = 3). Asterisks and double asterisks indicate significant deviations from the root at p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively, using Student’s t-test for comparisons between the root and other tissues separately for both genes. (c,d) Relative expression (protein) of two reporter genes, that is, gus (c) and gfp (d), detected in various Arabidopsis tissues by protein hybridization. R (root), YL (young leaf), OL (old leaf), DS (developing silique), MS (mature silique), and F (inflorescence).
