Expression profiles of selected rice and Arabidopsis MADS-box genes. (Color bar at the base represents log2 expression values, thereby green color representing low level expression, black shows medium level expression and red signifies high level expression). Expression profiles of selected MADS-box genes showing high sequence similarity and similar expression pattern in comparable stages. Developmental stages from Oryza sativa (Os) and Arabidopsis thaliana (At) used for expression profiling are mentioned on top of each column listed in the temporal order of development. On the left side of expression map, clade names are given. Developmental stages used for Arabidopsis are as follows: Leaf, 21 day rosette leaf (RL); Root, roots of 7-day old seedling; Seedling, 7-day old seedlings; F1-F5, flower stage 9, 10/11, 12, 15 and 28 day mature flower; SD1-SD5, seed stage 3, 5, 7, 9 and 10. For Stress, shoots and roots of 16-day-old seedling subjected to cold/drought/salt stress for 4 hours were selected.
