Gene expression of somatic embryogenesis genes involved in induction.

<p>Average values of fragments per kilobase of exon model per million fragments mapped (FPKM) of genes involved in the induction of somatic embryogenesis expressed in immature zygotic embryo explants of maize inbred line A188 at 0, 24, 36, 48, and 72 h after placement on culture initiation medium where (A), (B), and (C) are BBM-like maize genes with high sequence similarity to <i>Brassica napus</i> BABY BOOM (BnBBM1), (D) is maize LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (ZmLEC1), (E) is a maize gene with high sequence similarity to <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> LEAFY COTYLEDON2 (AtLEC2), and (F) is maize VIVIPARIOUS1 (VP1). Bars indicate average mean ± SE (n = 4 for 0, 24, 36, and 48 h include technical and biological replicates; n = 2 for 72 h include only technical replicates).
