Validation of novel genes by RT-PCR approach. PCR were carried out from RT products (RT+: gels 1, 3, 5 and 7) or negative controls (RT-: same reaction but without reverse-transcriptase, gels 2, 4, 6 and 8) from mRNA of leaves, roots, flowers and pollen. Primer pairs 1 to 24 have been used for leaves, roots and flowers, while the 25 to 41 pairs have been used for pollen (for pollen-specific genes only). The table to the right of the figure indicates the correspondence between a primer pair and the corresponding CATMA probe (GST). Primer sequences are given in the additional file 1.
