FIGURE 5.
Relative gene expression ratios obtained by reverse transcriptase–qPCR of antioxidative stress response genes (as in Supplementary Table 6) in relation to control plants of the sensitive control (A) and the tolerant control (B). Values were normalized with respect to translation initiation factor eIF-3 subunit 4 (TIF), translation initiation factor eIF-2B alpha subunit (TIF-GTP) and actin 2 (act) mRNA. The data correspond to log2(gene expression ratio) of three independent samples measured in duplicate.
