From: Contrasting gene expression patterns in grain of high and low asparagine wheat genotypes in response to sulphur supply

Fig. 6

Expression levels (FPKM) of nitrate and nitrite reductase genes in the embryo and endosperm of developing grain from wheat (Triticum aestivum) genotypes Spark and SR3. Plants were grown with sulphur either supplied (+) or withheld (−) and analysed at 14 and 21 dpa. a and b Genes encoding NADH- and NADPH-dependent nitrate reductase at 14 and 21 dpa, respectively. c Gene encoding nitrite reductase. Results for each homeologue are shown separately, as indicated. Gene reference numbers are given in Additional file 2. The decrease in expression of the NADPH-dependent nitrate reductase gene in response to sulphur deficiency in the endosperm of SR3 at 21 dpa was significant (p < 0.001)
