Gene expression profiles of PcMHQD1 and PcMHQD2 in P. chrysosporium in response to exogenous HGA, MHQ, DMHQ, VN, and VA. The abundance of amplified cDNA fragments of PcMHQD1 and PcMHQD2 transcripts was normalized using ACT1 as the reference gene. The normalized expression of each gene in the fungus upon 6 h exposure to HGA, MHQ, DMHQ, VN, and VA relative to the normalized expression in the absence of the substrate is shown. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (error bars) of three independent experiments.
