Fig. 1. EpiLTP gene expressi<strong>on</strong>. Left: <strong>Barley</strong> EpiLTP gene expressi<strong>on</strong> in<br />

various vegetative tissues EpiLTP is highly expressed in the developing spike<br />

but not in leaf, stem or root tissues. Center: <strong>Barley</strong> EpiLTP gene expressi<strong>on</strong><br />

in 3-day old seedlings. EpiLTP is highly expressed in the coleoptile tissue.<br />

Right: <strong>Barley</strong> EpiLTP gene expressi<strong>on</strong> in various spike tissues. EpiLTP is<br />

highly expressed in the epicarp and embryo, but not in endosperm, anther,<br />

rachis or awn tissues. Low expressi<strong>on</strong> was found in the ovary.<br />

Fig. 2. <strong>Barley</strong> EpiLTP gene structure. Homology<br />

search of putative cis-acting DNA elements was<br />

performed using PLACE database (Higo et al.,<br />

1999). The positi<strong>on</strong>s of different putative cis-acting<br />

DNA elements are represented by triangles. Name,<br />

code and potential resp<strong>on</strong>se or tissue-specificity of<br />

each of these DNA elements is summarized in table<br />

(right).<br />
