Fig. 2From: Epigenetic modification of ESP, encoding a putative long noncoding RNA, affects panicle architecture in riceMolecular cloning and expression analysis of ESP. a Map-based cloning of the ESP gene. The ESP locus was mapped to the short arm of rice chromosome 1. b Expression levels of Os01g0356951 was determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. c Expression analysis of ESP in the chimeric Epi-sp plants. Total RNAs were extracted from 3 independent chimeric plants by separating tissues with different phenotypes. N and sp. indicate RNA extracted from normal and short panicles, respectively. d Expression analysis of ESP in the progenies of the chimeric Epi-sp plants. Total RNAs were extracted from Epi-normal and Epi-sp plants derived from the chimeric Epi-sp plantsBack to article page
