Figure 4From: Lotus tenuis x L. corniculatus interspecific hybridization as a means to breed bloat-safe pastures and gain insight into the genetic control of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis in legumesRelative expression of PA genes in parental and F1 hybrid plants. (a to i) leaves. (j to r) stems. Expression was determined by real-time RT-PCR analysis using EF-1α as the housekeeping gene. Ct value of L. tenuis leaves was arbitrarily selected as reference. Samples are as in Figure 2. Means with similar letter do not differ significantly (p < 0.05), bars indicate standard deviation of mean values.Back to article page
