Table 4.

Estimated β values for one mRNA fragment in the Arabidopsis seeds under different AA temperatures and durations.

Gene	AA Days	β Value (Break per Nucleotide per Day × 10−4)
		22 °C	30 °C	33 °C	37 °C	40 °C
At1G743102000bp	8	0.32 ± 0.06	0.61 ± 0.07	0.37 ± 0.05	1.33 ± 0.11	2.05 ± 0.15
	16	0.46 ± 0.09	0.73 ± 0.06	0.73 ± 0.03	1.49 ± 0.08	2.86 ± 0.24
Overall		0.39 ± 0.10	0.67 ± 0.09	0.55 ± 0.18	1.41 ± 0.13	2.46 ± 0.45

Note: the β values were estimated using Equation (4) in the Materials and Methods from the ∆Ct values between the control and aged seeds. The β value was estimated for each of three technical replicates and its standard error was shown.
