Fig 8. Expression profiling of the cucumber FAD genes in response to ABA and H₂O₂.

The relative expression levels of the FAD genes in the leaves of cucumber seedlings treated without (white bars) or with ABA (100 μM, black bars) or H₂O₂ (1 mM, hatched bars) were determined by qPCR. The expression level for each gene in the control plants at 0 h was normalized to 1.0. The data represent the means of three independent replicates ± sd.
