Figure 2. Expression of representative defense-related genes in loquat fruit.

Figure 2

Tissue samples were collected from 5 loquat fruits before inoculation with C. acutatum and at 3, 6 and 12 hours after inoculation to analyze the expression pattern of EjNPR1-like, EjPAL2, EjEin3-like genes in loquat fruit only inoculated with distilled water (Mock), C. acutatum or B. cereus AR156, and in those both treated with B. cereus AR156 and inoculated with C. acutatum. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was carried out using 18S-rRNA as an internal reference. Each treatment was replicated three times. hpi, hour post inoculation.
