FIGURE 5.
qPCR analysis of TomLoxA expression in hydroponic tomato roots (hdp-TomR) 24 h after T. harzianum strains inoculation as a reference gene for tomato roots colonization in: (A) Tomato plants inoculated with T. harzianum wild-type (Th) strain versus non-inoculated plants. (B) Tomato plants inoculated with T. harzianum Δepl-1 strain versus non-inoculated plants. (C) Fold change of relative gene expression of Tomato plants inoculated with T. harzianum wild-type versus expression in Tomato plants inoculated with Δepl-1 mutant. qPCR comparative calculations and graphic representations were carried out as indicated in the legend of Figure 1. Numeric values are included in Supplementary Table S4a.
