Heatmap expression analysis of 627 late pollen-preferred genes. Expression patterns conserved among indica (green box) and japonica (red box) rice types are shown over several stages of development. Microarray data numbered 22 for indica rice (5 stages for anthers and 3 for pollen) and 42 for japonica rice (8 stages for anthers and 5 for pollen). Anatomical meta-expression data from ROAD were used to check expression patterns in other tissues. ACF, archesporial cell-forming stage; BG, bi-cellular gametophyte stage; Fl, flowering stage; GP, germinating pollen; Me, meiotic stage; Me1, meiotic leptotene stage; Me2, meiotic zygotene-pachytene stage; Me3, meiotic diplotene-tetrad stage; MP, mature pollen stage; PMe, pre-meiosis; TG, tri-cellular pollen stage; UG, uni-cellular gametophyte stage. Yellow color in heatmap indicates high level of expression; dark-blue, low expression
