Figure 5.

Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) analysis of 11 MaCsl gene expressions in banana (Musa spp.) leaves under low temperature stress. The data represent an average of three replicates ± SE. Values followed by the same letter are not significantly different using Duncan’s multiple range test at p < 0.05 after the angular transformation of the data for each cultivar (comparison among different low-temperature points). Values marked with a star were considered significant at p < 0.05, while values marked with two stars were considered significant at p < 0.01 when evaluated using Student’s t-test (comparison between the two cultivars at the same low-temperature point). BX ‘Baxijiao’, chilling-sensitive; DJ ‘Dongguandajiao’, chilling-tolerant.
