Fig. 5.

Relative transcript levels determined by qPCR of PR-10.13 and PR-10.09, which are highly induced in leaves, roots, and stems and relative transcript levels of PR-10.05 and PR-10.07 which indicated no induction for both isoforms. Strawberry plants were infected with V. dahliae and the relative transcript level was normalized to the control stem at 1 dpi (set to one). The expression levels in the tissues were measured at 1, 5, 10, 20, and 30 dpi (days post infection). Green bars represent the control while red bars represent infected tissues. The mean values (± SD) were obtained from five biological replicates and are shown as relative changes. Asterisks represent significant induction of a gene after statistical comparison with the transcript abundance of the control sample using the Tukey test. FaRIB413 was used as a housekeeping gene for normalization
