Relationships among the ∆Ct value, cDNA fragment size and seed aging time as revealed by qPCR analysis of canola seeds. (a) The relationship between the ∆Ct values of stored mRNAs of five canola genes and seed aging time. cDNAs of control and five acceleratedly aged seed samples for variable aging days were used. The ∆Ct values between the aged and control samples for Bn111490bp, Bn121500bp, Bn131486bp, Bn141500bp, and Bn171500bp (the fragment length analyzed is indicated by the subscript) were determined. (b) Relationship between the ∆Ct value and cDNA fragment size of canola gene Bn12. cDNAs of the control (100% germination) and 30-day AA seeds were used to obtain ∆Ct values of the fragments on gene B12; the fragments were Bn12148bp, Bn12487bp, Bn12850bp, Bn121169bp, and Bn121500bp. (c) Correlation of the ∆Ct value with seed aging time analyzed using five cDNA fragments of Bn12. cDNAs of the control and five AA seed lots under variable aging days were used; the five fragments in Figure 4b were used. The linear regressions had at least a p < 0.05 in the F-test for each of the regressions.
