Figure 6From: Transgenic expression of lactoferrin imparts enhanced resistance to head blight of wheat caused by Fusarium graminearumAssociation of disease resistance with lactoferin levels. A. The level of disease resistance (blue bars) is proportional to the level lactoferrin concentration (red bars) in the transgenic wheat lines. Lactoferrin concentration (LF) was determined in samples consisting of a flowering head and two top leaves (growth stage Feekes 10.5). B. Regression analysis showed a linear relationship between disease resistance and lactoferrin concentration.Back to article page
