Gene expression analysis of five SbPAL genes (PAL1, PAL2, PAL3, PAL15, and PAL7) in controls and sugarcane aphid (SCA) infested shoot tissues from two sorghum lines (Tx7000, Tx2783). qRT-PCR was used to determine the relative expression of each SbPAL gene, and the relative expression was estimated using the 2−ΔΔCt method. Samples were collected at 6 hours post infestation (h), 12 h, 1 day post infestation (d) 2 d, 3 d, 6 d, and 9 d. Gene expression in control (none-infested) plants of each line is normalized to 1. Error bars represent standard error among replicates (n = 3) and the asterisks represent statistically significant changes between the controls and SCA infested samples as determined using Student’s t-test (p ≤ 0.05), while the bars without asterisk are non-significant (p > 0.05).
