Figure 5From: De novo characterization of the gametophyte transcriptome in bracken fern, Pteridium aquilinumDetection of homologs to Arabidopsis gametophyte genes. To screen for the presence of potential gametophyte genes, Arabidopsis genes producing significant alignments with Pteridium unigenes in a blastx search (e-value cutoff = 1e-10) were compared with the list of male gametophyte specific and female gametophyte enriched genes identified from the literature [68–70].Back to article page
