Table 3. Expression-level differences for chosen genes in leaves of Brachypodium distachyon (Bd) and wheat plants.
Gene expression was detected as fold difference (FD) between inoculated (by pathogen or endophyte) and non-inoculated plants (mock).
| Gene | Pathogen | Endophyte | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean FD | F-stat | P-value | Mean FD | F-stat | P-value | |
| BdPR1-5 | 30.944 | 16.664 | 0.00129 | −13.795 | 0.823 | 0.38090 |
| BdChitinase1 | 4.120 | 9.365 | 0.00847 | −0.260 | 0.018 | 0.89457 |
| BdLOX3 | 8.807 | 10.507 | 0.00590 | 5.493 | 0.085 | 0.77299 |
| TaPR1.1 | 14.267 | 18.859 | 0.00067 | −3.431 | 0.490 | 0.49554 |
| TaB2H2 | 39.661 | 32.744 | 0.00005 | 4.041 | 0.094 | 0.76409 |
| Mean | 19.559 | −1.590 | ||||
| Total | 97.799 | −7.952 | ||||
The table shows means calculated from 1 dpi and 2 dpi data. Data from 8 dpi was excluded because there were no statistically significant differences among treatments. Non-significant differences were found in FD for the genes BdPAL, BdEIN3, BdAOS, TaPAL, TaLOX, TaEIN2, TaAOS and so these are not displayed in the table. A statistically significant difference is expressed by a P-value lower than 0.05.
