Screening and Expression of a Silicon Transporter Gene (Lsi1) in Wild-Type Indica Rice Cultivars

Figure 5

Relative expression levels of the Lsi1 gene were calibrated using quantitative real-time PCR of two reference genes, 18S rRNA and α-Tubulin, in wild-type and transgenic varieties. Expression of Lsi1 in the transgenic cultivar MR276 was significantly higher than in the transgenic cultivars MR219 and MR220.
