Figure 2. Stress-responsive altered expression of CaFer1.

(A) Time-dependent accumulation of CaFer1 transcript in response to dehydration, as indicated. (B) Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc) effected altered expression of CaFer1. (C) qRT-PCR analysis showing differential accumulation of CaFer1 transcript in response to Fe (300 μM and 1 mM) and 10 mM H₂O₂. The expression levels of CaFer1 were normalized to expression of EF1α. Error bars represent the SE from three replicates. Asterisks indicate significant differences relative to the untreated background (Student’s t test). NS, not significant; U, untreated.
