Figure 9
The expression profiles of the selected genes in the apical, middle and basal sections of MBS at harvest. The transcript levels of each gene were normalized to that of NTB (nucleotide tract-binding protein) at the basal section, which was set as 1.0. Each data point represents the means ± SE (n = 3). The error bar is 95% confidence interval and different letters indicate significant differences between apical, middle and basal segments of MBS (P ≦ 0.05).
