Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of OsCHS24 and OsCHS8 gene expression in rice seedlings and different adult tissues. Shoot and root samples were collected from seven-day-old rice seedlings. Leaf, leaf sheath, stem, and panicle samples were obtained from rice plants in vegetative and reproductive stages. An ubiquitin 5 gene (OsUBQ5) was used as an internal control. Expression levels of each OsCHS gene are presented as relative expression compared to OsUBQ5 mRNA level. qRT-PCR analysis was performed on the triplicated biological samples. The results represent mean ± standard deviation.
