Fig. 11From: Comparative transcriptomics of stem bark reveals genes associated with bast fiber development in Boehmeria nivea L. gaud (ramie)A schematic showing gene expression in TB, ER and FER in Ramie. Gene activation in FER for phloem development is clearly evidenced in our study. Secondary cell wall synthesis genes are up-regulated in both ER and FER but more activated in FER. The genes in the ethylene pathway and gibberellins acids biosynthesis are activated during the maturation of ramie stemBack to article page
