  1. Genes putatively associated with specific fiber development processes are marked by symbols: elongation (*), thickening (¥), and thickening and maturation (§). If two genes are shown in one line it means the primers used amplified both genes. (OV) expressed only in vascular tissues; (SA-S) present in SA but not in the rest of the stem (EF, LF, ECP, LCP); (O-X) present in outer tissues (cortical peel and fibers) but not xylem; (L-E) present in LF but not EF; (E-L) present in EF but not LF; (EC-LC) present in ECP but not LCP; (LC-EC) present in LCP but not ECP; (SA) only present in SA; (LCP) only present in LCP. The genes underlined were found to be “SA-S” using the qRT-PCR data, however, according to RNAseq assembled reads they are present in other parts of the stem in addition to SA. As they were only detected in SA with qRT-PCR it is expected that their expression is higher in the SA.
