Figure 8.
Expression of Aox1, Aox2, and Aox3 in the zmnmat1 mutant. (A) RT-PCR analysis of Aox1, Aox2, and Aox3 expression in the 10 DAP WT and zmnmat1 kernels. The expression level was normalized against ZmActin. (B) qRT-PCR analysis of Aox1, Aox2, and Aox3 expression using ZmActin as an internal control. Data is the average ± S.E. of three biological replicates. (C-F) Transmission electron microscopy image of the WT (C, D) and zmnmat1 mutant (E, F) in 15 DAP endosperm cells. (C, E) Low magnification. Scale bar=5 μm. (D, F) High magnification. Scale bar=2 μm. Red arrows indicate the mitochondria.
