Expression analyses of genes putatively involved in defence. Data are means with standard deviations of ∆∆Ct between the gene of interest and elongation factor (EF) 1α as an internal control gene (n=6). SlLoxD, lipoxygenase D; SlACX, acyl-CoA oxidase 1A; SlCCoAOMT, caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase; SlGAD2, glutamate decarboxylase; SlGST, glutathione-S-transferase/peroxidase; Slβ-glu, β-glucosidase. Significant differences were analysed using two-way ANOVA. Letters (a, b, c) indicate a significant difference between stages at each time point. B, T, L indicate significant differences between time points for each stage.
