Figure 4From: The non-specific lipid transfer protein N5 of Medicago truncatulais implicated in epidermal stages of rhizobium-host interactionExpression level of NIN and MtN5 genes in M. truncatula DMI1 insertional mutant line. The expression level of NIN (A) and MtN5 (B) was assessed in M. truncatula R108 wild-type and DMI1 insertional mutant roots, both mock-inoculated and inoculated with S. meliloti. The data were normalized to an internal actin control. The relative expression ratios were calculated using mock-inoculated roots as calibrator sample. The values reported are means ± SE (n=3). Student’s t test was applied. **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.Back to article page
