Figure 6. Transcriptional expression of virulence-related genes in Ralstonia solanacearum.

Figure 6

The Rsc cells were harvested after exposure to VOCs from B. amyloliquefacians FZB 42 and B. artrophaeus LSSC22, benzaldehyde, 1,2-benz isothiazol-3(2 H)-one and 1,3-butadiene (1,3-BDN) for 72 hours. Real-time PCR was performed using a SYBR Green/Fluorescent qPCR master mix (Takara) on a Roche-480 system (Roche). The 16srRNA was used as an internal reference, and the transcriptional levels of PhcA, T3SS, T4SS pili, EPS and chemotaxis-related genes were detected. Each sample was replicated thrice for qPCR, and 2−ΔΔCt method was used to analyze gene expression level. Error bars indicate standard deviations of the means of three replicates.
