Expression analyses of selected cacao NRAMP genes. (a) Normalized expression values of NRAMP1, 3 and 5 genes in root tissue of cacao seedlings grown under four nutrient conditions i.e. standard 0.5X Hoagland solution (CTRL), CTRL excluding Fe2+ (T1), CTRL excluding Mn2+ (T2) and CTRL excluding Zn2+ (T3). (b) Normalized expression values of NRAMP1, 3 and 5 genes grown in standard 0.5X Hoagland solution (CTRL), excluding Fe2+, Zn2+, Mn2+ (T1) and excluding Fe2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, but including 20 µM Cd2+ (T2). Pattern of expression was determined using qRT-PCR. Acyl Carrier Protein was utilised as the reference gene to normalize the expression values. Data are means ± SD of four biological replicates.
