Overview of the relative transcript abundance of a selection of >2-fold drought-responsive Musa transcripts by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Primers were designed on the basis of Musa unigene sequences displaying highest homology to the rice unigene sequences. Transcript names correspond to the probe set descriptions given in Additional file 3. Results represent the means of 3 individual PCR-amplifications. 'Expected' = Relative expression levels based on microarray data, 'Found' = transcript expression levels as determined by RT-PCR.
