Expression pattern of hormone-related genes during cluster root (CR) development in Lupinus albus grown for 20 days without Pi supply and evaluated by quantitative real time PCR (RT-qPCR). Genes are involved in auxin biosynthesis (YUCCA), auxin transport (AUX1, PIN1), cytokinin degradation (CKX), cytokinin receptors (CRE), ethylene biosynthesis (ACC_oxidase), brassinosteroid biosynthesis (BR), and RNA degradation associated with nitric oxide formation (XDH). The gene expression level is indicated relative to reference genes. Data represent means ± SE (n = 2–3). Different lowercase letters denote significant differences (P < 0.05). PE, pre-emergent stage; JU, juvenile root clusters; MA, mature root clusters (modified after Wang et al., 2014b). The photo shows the different developmental stages of CRs used for RNA isolation: PE, pre-emergent stage; JU, juvenile cluster; MA, mature cluster.
