Additional file 1:

Complete list of TF genes, primer data and corresponding PCR efficiencies. The TF primer platform was established based on the data for the gene models according to the Version 2.0 of TIGR Rice genome annotation. The corresponding new identifiers (Version 5.0) are also presented. The ranking of primer pairs taking into account experimental data (Cat column) was done as follows: 1, specific amplification; 2, no amplification; 3, non-specific amplification. 'Primer Location' indicates the sites within genes selected for primer design: J, at least one of the primers extends over an exon-exon junction; D, the primers are located in different exons; S, both primers are located within same exon.
