Differential expression patterns of the M. destructor GSTs during compatible and incompatible interactions with wheat. Quantitative analysis was performed using RNA samples from larvae participating in compatible interactions (Biotype L Hessian flies on susceptible ‘Newton’ wheat) and from larvae participating in incompatible interactions (Biotype L Hessian flies on resistant ‘Iris’ wheat) 1 through 4 days (d) post hatch. Values represent the Log of the mean relative expression value (REV) plotted against each of the four time points examined for (A) MdesGST-1 (B) MdesGST-2 and (C) MdesGST-3. REVs for all genes were calculated relative to the expression of a M. destructor ubiquitin gene. The standard error in all panels is represented by the error bar for two biological replicates (two technical replicates within each).
