Fig. 2.

Specific activity of three enzymes in pathogen-challenged sets of Bullet and Beldanga cultivars at different time intervals, i.e., 0 DPI, 1 DPI, 2 DPI, and 3 DPI. a Peroxidase (PO), b polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and (c) phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL). Non-infected plants were used as a control for those experiments. Values represent mean ± SD of three independent experiments each in triplicate. Comparison was performed for the infected plants with respect to the corresponding control of their respective varieties. ns = not significant, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 representing statistically significant differences with control
