Fig. 3From: The strigolactone biosynthesis gene DWARF27 is co-opted in rhizobium symbiosisRelative transcript abundance of MtD27 and Medtr7g095920 after application of rhizobium LCOs. Relative transcript abundance as determined by qRT-PCR of MtD27 and Medtr7g095920 in M. truncatula root susceptible zones 3 h after mock (-LCO) or S. meliloti LCO (10-9 M) (+LCO) treatment. Data shown represent means of 2 biological replicates that each were analyzed in 3-fold (technical replicates) ± SEM. For each gene, transcript abundance was normalized against that of the mock-treated wild type. Different letters above bars indicate statistical difference (p < 0.05, students’ t-test)Back to article page
