Figure 7.

The level of transcript of genes involved in free radical processing (CAT—catalase, APX—ascorbate peroxidase, SOD—superoxide dismutase, and PPO—polyphenol oxidase) in the HTZ lines presented as relative quantification (RQ) in relation to the non-transgenic control (horizontal line at RQ = 1). The elongation factor gene was used as a reference gene. The results were obtained with the RT-qPCR method on the cDNA matrix as the mean values of three biological repeats ± standard deviation. Statistically significant changes (p < 0.05) are marked with asterisks.
