BL and Ra induce the genes related to growth inhibition and cellular defence. Time courses of transcript levels of seven genes involved in growth inhibition pathways relative to controls following treatment with BL and Ra at the indicated concentrations were validated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Transcript levels of seven genes, NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase A (NTRA), catalase2 (CAT2), peroxidase, calmodulin- binding transcription factor 3 (CAMTA3), SNF-1 related protein kinase (CIPK1), disease resistance protein (DRP), and ACC oxidase. The bottom panels show the elongation factor α (ef1α) as loading control. Primers for all genes are specific to transcripts from the respective cDNA. The data represents the typical gel image of one of three replicates. BL: blue light; Ra: raphanusanin.
