FIGURE 4.

TaZIP4 and C-Ph1 gene expression patterns across a range of tissues and developmental stages including meiosis. (A) TaZIP4 copy on 5B (TaZIP4-B2) is the dominant ZIP4 copy and it is expressed in all types of tissues, including all meiotic stages. (B) C-Ph1 copy on 5B is not expressed during meiosis. The dominant C-Ph1 copy is on 5D, which is mostly expressed during heading stage. 863 RNA-seq samples were used to produce these graphs: 849 wheat RNA-seq samples publicly available (Ramírez-González et al., 2018), eight meiotic samples available at https://urgi.versailles.inra.fr/files/RNASeqWheat/Meiosis/ and six samples from the present study. All RNA-seq samples were mapped to the Chinese Spring RefSeqv1.0+UTR transcriptome reference and TPM values were calculated according to Ramírez-González et al. (2018). Error bar represents Standard Deviation value.
