Figure 7From: Early activation of wheat polyamine biosynthesis during Fusarium head blight implicates putrescine as an inducer of trichothecene mycotoxin productionComparison of polyamine pathway gene expression in dissected head tissue under Fusarium head blight infection. Values are relative to mock-treated heads. Black bars are spikelet material and grey bars are rachis material. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) as described in the text. Error bars are the standard error of the mean, n = 8 individual heads. ASS, argininosuccinate synthase; ASL, argininosuccinate lyase; OCT, ornithine carbamoyl transferase; ADC2, arginine decarboxylase 2; TaPERO, peroxidase; ODC, ornithine decarboxylase.Back to article page
