Gene expression of DlP5βR1 and DlP5βR2 in Digitalis lanata WT and RNAi-mediated knockdown shoots. Relative RNA expression levels were calculated using the qPCR method by applying the 2−ΔΔCT method with actin as the reference gene. The y axis denotes the normalized relative transcript accumulation of the genes indicated in the x axis (mean ± SEM, n = 3; Tukey’s test, *P > 0.01). (a) Relative transcripts of P5βRs (DlP5βR1 and DlP5βR2) in D. lanata WT; (b) relative expression of DlP5βR1 and DlP5βR2 in a Dl P5βR1-RNAi knockdown line 1 (L1) and line 2 (L2) compared to WT shoots; c relative expression of DlP5βR1 and DlP5βR2 in a Dl P5βR2-RNAi knock down line 1 (L1) and line 2 (L2) compared to WT shoots; (d) quantification of digoxigenin and digitoxigenin in D. lanata WT shoots and transgenic shoots with reduced expression of P5βRs. Shoots transformed with 679p935s-GusIo-rbs (VC) were used as control to exclude artificial effects created by the transformation process (mean ± SEM; n = 9; Tukey’s test, *P > 0.05)
