Table 6 Reduced frequency of insertion mutants in gametophyte vs seedling enriched genes

From: Discovery of novel transcripts and gametophytic functions via RNA-seq analysis of maize gametophytic transcriptomes

Expression characteristic

Total gene models tested

Percent of gene models tested with a coding sequenceAc/Dsinsertion

Percent of gene models tested with a coding sequenceMuinsertion

Seedling enriched genes

7,385

1.6% (0.70%)

19.9% (9.3%)

Pollen enriched genes

2,042

1.9% (0.90%)

12.7% (6.1%)*

Embryo sac enriched genes

4,238

0.8% (0.43%)*

13.2% (7.1%)*

  1. Percentages in parentheses show the frequency of insertion per gene normalized for gene size. *Significantly lower than frequency of insertions in seedling enriched genes, p < 0.01.
