Expression of thermomemory genes in the bdx-1 line. (A) HSFA2 expression at the end of priming compared to T₀P in each line. The expression level is similar in WT and bdx-1. (B) HSP22 expression at the beginning and the end of triggering, compared with plants without treatment. For HSFA2, the expression values are relative to T₀P expression and for HSP22, to WT control. Error bars indicate S.D. (n = 3). Statistical analyses were performed using Student’s t-test. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences to T₀P and to WT control (** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001).
