Expression profiles during seed development showing four different patterns of expression in the subtracted genes. Expression data are based on the microarray results [9]. Blue, pattern I; yellow, pattern IIa; red, pattern IIb; green, pattern IIc. Solid lines correspond to average expression and shaded areas to the standard errors. Developmental stages: 3, siliques with embryos at the mid-globular to early heart embryo stage; 4, siliques with embryos at the early to late heart-embryo stage; 5, siliques with embryos at the late heart to mid torpedo stages; 6, seeds with embryos at the late torpedo stage; 7, seeds with embryos at the late torpedo to early walking-stick stage; 8, seeds with embryos at the walking-stick to early curled-cotyledon stages; 9, seeds with embryos at the curled-cotyledon to early green-cotyledon stages; 10, seeds with embryos at the green cotyledon stage. The dotted line corresponds to 25% of the maximum expression.
