CA-induced aox gene expression under heat stress. (A) Effects of aco-transformed strains on aox gene expression under heat stress. Different letters indicate significant differences between strains. (B) Effects of exogenous CA on the relative expression of aox at 32°C and 40°C. Three independent biological replicates were performed for all experiments. The values are the mean ± SE. Different letters indicate significant differences for the comparison of samples with 2.5 mM CA at 28°C, 32°C, and 40°C (P < 0.05 according to Duncan’s test).
