FIGURE 2.

Comparison of gene induction by G. margarita or C. trifolii GSE 24 and 48 h after the treatment. Putative defense-like genes were selected from the microarray list and their gene expression tested in a new experiment with also germination water from a fungal pathogen, Colletotrichum trifolii, after 24 and 48 h. Bars represent the mean of four biological replicates ± SE. Bars subtended by the asterisk differ significantly at p-value < 0.05, according to the Kruskal–Wallis test. NRQ stands for Normalized Relative Quantities. LjPI, proteinase inhibitor; LjHYDR, hydrolase-like protein; LjPR10, pathogenesis related protein; LjLeuc, Bark leucoagglutinin precursor; LjERF19, ethylene responsive element; LjGST, glutathione-S-transferase.
