(A–F) mRNA levels of fungal and plant genes in infected cobs. F. verticillioides LDS1 (A), LDS2 (B), LDS3 (C), and LOX (D), Zea mays LOX3 (E), and PR4 (F) were quantified at 2–15 DAI in maize cobs non-inoculated (mock), or inoculated with the WT or mutant strain (ΔFvlds1D). Relative mRNA expression is calculated by using the 2−ΔΔCt method, i.e., by normalizing gene of interest expression onto housekeeping gene expression and to their value at the time of inoculation (time zero). Results are the mean (± SE) of six replications deriving from two independent experiments.
