Transcript expression of genes from whole stem and stem peel tissues (ddCT).

<p>dCT was obtained by subtracting the geometric mean of the three endogenous controls used to the Ct value of the genes studied for every biological replicate. Here we show the average of the three biological replicates. The negative of the dCT value was used to calculate the ddCT, so a higher value represents higher transcript abundance. The ddCT was obtained by substracting the dCT value from the SA for whole stem tissues, and from point A, for stem peel tisues. The tissues below the dotted line are whole stem tissues, and below the solid line are stem peel tissues.
