|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cysI | cysDb | sbpb | phoB | oprO | phnCb | algL | |
| qRT-PCR | 5.77 | 3.97 | 8.66 | −21.26 | −3.93 | −4.10 | −1.97 |

a
Relative changes in gene expression of selected up- or downregulated genes in the resistant host, cv. Xanthi, relative to the susceptible host, cv. Samsun.
b
qRT-PCR results were not statistically different (P ≤ 0.05) between the two cultivars. However, trends in expression patterns were consistent between microarray and qRT-PCR data for these genes.
