FIGURE 11.

Relative transcript abundance of genes encoding defensin-like peptides in belowground organs of C. thyrsiflorus. Expression levels in roots (R) and nodules (N) are relative to those of the housekeeping gene EF-1α. The median and IQR of three biological replicates areshown. Differences between R and N are indicated for ^∗p < 0.05 after student’s t-test followed by FDR multi comparison correction. Y-axis is given in log₁₀ scale.
