Figure 1. P. c. sp. carotovorum budB transcript is differentially expressed in potato tubers and stems.

Figure 1

Relative expression of the budB transcript in potato stems and tubers was determined with four reference mRNA (ffh, dspE, pelB, and hrcC - Table 2). The mean relative expression ratio (RER) of the budB transcript in tubers was 8.5-fold elevated compared to stem tissue, which was used as the calibrator. The difference was found to be significant at a 95% confidence interval by t-test using Prism software (Mac version 5.0d, GraphPad Software, Inc.) with a P-value = 0.0425. Error bars represent standard error of the mean.
