Figure 3

The diagram of eight different tissues or organs for RNA extraction in ramie (Left). (A–H) represented leaf (without main vein), petiole, stem, bark, root, pistillate flower, staminate flower and seed, respectively. C, D, F, and G were indicated by white arrows in this figure. Bar = 1 cm. Tissue-specific expression patterns of BnPP2 genes (Right). The BnPP2 genes were classified according to phylogenetic relationship (Fig. 1A). RNA was extracted from eight different tissues or organs of ramie and used for cDNA synthesis. L, leaf without main vein; P, petiole; S, stem; B, bark; R, root; PF, pistillate flower; SF, staminate flower; SE, seed. The data were presented as the mean ± SD of three separate measurements.
