“…Proteins potentially involved in the acquisition of embryogenic competence identified in proteomic studies performed by our research group [35] were selected and the corresponding gene was searched for primer design, including PGM , ACT1 , ANN1 , CAT2 , OASA , ENO1 , MDAR5 , PFP-BETA , RUBA , PDIL1-4 , PRB1 , PRB1-3 , EF1 and HSP81-1 (Table 1). Some genes were also selected from previous published studies, such as LEA , FIE2 and GBSS1 [36], BGLUC and SERk1 [23] as well as the reference genes PD00380 [37] and ACT2 [38] (Table 1).…”
