Expression profiling of genes related to ethylene biosynthesis and signaling, and polyamine biosynthesis as reconstructed from the 454 pyrosequencing transcriptome.

<p>UniProt IDs followed by asterisks indicate transcripts showing significant variations during abscission (P<0.01, group I). Gene-expression levels at 36, 38, and 40 DAP are indicated with colored bars. For the sample displaying maximal expression level, the normalized transcript abundance, expressed as the number of transcripts per total transcripts. For the other sample, expression level is indicated as percentages of the maximal normalized transcript abundance of the gene, as described in the color code from 0% (white) to 100% (dark blue). Additional information on the hormone-related genes is presented in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0058363#pone.0058363.s023" target="_blank">Table S12</a>.
