Figure 2.

Quantitative real time PCR analysis of transcript levels of the DIM/DWARF1- (Os10g0397400) and OsSUT4-encoding (Q6YK44) genes relative to ubiquitin gene (XR_423446) transcript levels in Nipponbare wild type rice plants compared to the BR-synthesis defective brd2-1 mutant. Wild type plants were non-mycorrhizal (co) or inoculated with the AM fungi R. irregularis (myc). Shown are mean values and standard deviations. Significant differences between WT and brd2-1 mycorrhizal plants are indicated by asterisks (Students-t-test, P ≤ 0.05; n = 3-5).
