Samples for analysis of PaNAC03 expression levels during embryo development, was a generous gift from Drs. Irena Molina and Malin Abrahamsson. Briefly, samples were collected from five sequential developmental stages (classification based on Zhu et al. [35 (link)]): +PGR (Proliferating cultures + Plant growth regulators (PGR) five days after subculture), —PGR (Proliferating cultures —PGR five days after subculture), EE (Early embryos differentiated after one week on maturation medium); LE1 and LE2 (late early embryos developed after two and three weeks on maturation medium, respectively). Three independent samples were collected for every stage and frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C until extraction. Total RNA were extracted with the Spectrum Plant Total RNA kit (Sigma Aldrich) after DNAse I treatment one μg of total RNA was reverse transcribed with the Quanta cDNA synthesis kit (Quanta Biosciences).
