Superoxide accumulation in Rhizobium-inoculated transgenic roots. Uninoculated and R. tropici-inoculated (72 hpi) transgenic hairy roots were used to estimate superoxide accumulation. (A) Quantity of NBT/formazan precipitation in uninoculated and Rhizobium-inoculated PvRbohA-RNAi roots were biochemically estimated. (B) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of PvSOD and PvCAT in transgenic PvRbohA-RNAi and control roots. Transcript accumulation was normalized to the expression of the EF1α and IDE reference genes. Values represent the averages of three biological replicates (n > 9). The statistical significance of differences between uninoculated and R. tropici inoculated samples was determined using an unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test (P < 0.05; ∗∗P < 0.01). Error bars represent means ± SEM.
