Table 4. Expression-level differences for chosen genes in leaves of Brachypodium distachyon (Bd) and wheat plants.

Gene expression was detected as fold difference (FD) between plants inoculated only by pathogen and plants inoculated both by endophyte and pathogen to evaluate the effect potentially caused by endophyte on subsequent pathogen infection.

Gene	Mean FD	F-stat	P-value
BdPR1-5	−1.307	1.084	0.33803
BdChitinase1	0.398	0.176	0.68937
BdLOX3	2.247	3.692	0.10305
TaPR1.1	−0.678	0.446	0.52917
TaB2H2	0.717	0.415	0.54309
Mean	0.275
Total	1.376

Table shows means calculated from 1 dpi and 2 dpi. A statistically significant difference is expressed by a P-value lower than 0.05.
