Figure 1From: Identification of genes specifically or preferentially expressed in maize silk reveals similarity and diversity in transcript abundance of different dry stigmasDistribution of genes expressed in four studied tissues and correlation matrix of their RNA-seq libraries. (A) Mature silk (MS) (arrowhead). (B) Mature pollen (MP). (C) Mature ovaries (MO) (rectangle). (D) Six-day-old seedling (SL). (E) A four-way Venn diagram of genes expressed in MP, MS, MO, and SL. The number of genes expressed in each tissue is circled. (F) Correlation matrix of RNA-seq libraries for four maize tissues. Scale bars = 1 cm (A, D), 100 μm (B), and 1 mm (C).Back to article page
