Figure 6From: Specific elements of the glyoxylate pathway play a significant role in the functional transition of the soybean cotyledon during seedling developmentOligo microarray expression profiles during soybean seedling development of selected clones. Expression profiles throughout seedling development show the normalized ratio (log scale) of every stage measured relative to stage 1 (imbibed seed). Stages 2 and 3 are characterized by fat mobilization, stages 3 and 4 represent the functional transition when the cotyledons are green and yellow and stages 6 and 7 represent the green photosynthetic tissues. A value of 1 indicates no change in expression relative to the imbibed seed. Values >1 indicate up regulation while values <1 indicate down regulation.Back to article page
