Association of transcript abundance measured by microarray to that by qRT-PCR for six genes in landraces with contrasting HPLC_DAD profiles. Graph shows the experimental data and the best-fit correspondence values for microarray and qRT_PCR gene expression measurements for four landraces (IAC12, Cas64, Cas62, and Cas51) with contrasting total carotene accumulation with three biological replications. Note the range of results with excellent agreement between microarray data and qRT-PCR. Abbreviation for enzyme names are accompanied with the symbol for the microarray (mic) and qRT_PCR (RT). Detailed statistical data treatments are described in Methods. Values refer to natural log (Ln) for microarray fluorescence readings. The correspondent gene code in cassava genome for the enzymes abbreviation is as in Table 5
