Transcriptional characterization of rice NF-YC12. (A) qRT-PCR analysis of NF-YC12 In different organs: R, roots; S, stems; L, leaves; P, panicles; Em, embryo; S1, caryopses collected at 1 d after pollination (DAP); S3, caryopses collected at 3 DAP; En5–En21, endosperm collected at 5–21 DAP. (B) In situ hybridization of sectioned caryopses collected at 5, 7, and 10 DAP using antisense and sense probes. NF-YC12 was highly expressed in the aleurone layer (AL) and the starchy endosperm (SE). DV, dorsal vascular bundle; NP, nucellar projection; PE, pericarp. Scale bars are 100 μm.
