Effects of flooding stress on mRNA expression levels of N-glycosylation related genes. Two-day-old soybeans were treated with flooding for 1 and 2 days (white column). Untreated plants served as a control (black column). RNA extracted from roots of soybean was analyzed by qRT-PCR with specific primers for N-glycosylation genes (Supplemental Table 1; Supplemental Figure 1 for the analyzed samples). mRNA expression levels indicate relative mRNA abundance normalized against 18S rRNA abundance. The data shows mean ± SE values from three independent biological replicates. Among N-glycosylation related genes, glucosaminephosphotransferase (Glyma02g34640.1), alpha-1, 2 glucosyltransferase (Glyma07g15720.1), oligosaccharyltransferase, STT3 subunit (Glyma01g01270.1), and mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase (Glyma05g27890.1) were selected.
