40S Ribosome Biogenesis Co-Factors Are Essential for Gametophyte and Embryo Development

Figure 2

Developmental stage and tissue dependent mRNA abundance.

A, Relative expression levels of the mRNAs are depicted in different shades of green. Error bars illustrate standard deviation of at least three independent results. The age of the investigated tissues is indicated with 48 and 66 (days) on the x-axis below the corresponding samples. The significance of changes was determined by a two-tailed paired Student’s t-test for developmental stages from day 8 to 25 in comparison to day 3 and for different tissues at day 48 or 66 normalized to values for rosette (indicated by grey lines and grey asterisks or plus). In addition, the change of expression in a specific tissue between day 48 and day 66 was analyzed (green brackets, green asterisk or plus). A plus indicates p-values below 0.005, one asterisk indicates p-values below α = 0.001 and two asterisk a p-value below α = 0.0001 B, The correlation of the expression profiles of the investigated factors. The color indicates the correlation factor and the two asterisks again a p-value below α = 0.0001. The p-values are related to the correlations and roughly indicates the probability of an uncorrelated system producing datasets that have a Pearson correlation at least as extreme as the one computed from these datasets.
