Coincidence of zygotic embryogenesis stages in spring Brassica napus L. with spatial-temporal patterns in the accumulation of seed storage protein transcripts and gene products during the first six weeks seed of development under controlled growth environment conditions. Abbreviations are as follows: G, globular stage; H, heart stage; T, torpedo stage; C, cotyledon stage; CRU, cruciferin. A single asterisk (*) indicates initial detection and three asterisks (***) indicate peak.
