Fig. 5From: Evaluation of the significance of cell wall polymers in flax infected with a pathogenic strain of Fusarium oxysporum Relative expression of pectin metabolism gene transcripts in flax seedlings infected with Fusarium oxysporum. Changes in expression levels of genes: pectin synthesis (UDP-glucuronate 4-epimerase â GAE, galacturonosyltransferase 1 â GAUT1, galacturonosyltransferase 7 â GAUT7, rhamnogalacturonan II xylosyltransferase â RGXT, arabinose transferase â ARAD, pectin methyltransferase â PMT) â panel a and degradation (pectin methylesterase 1 â PME1, pectin methylesterase 3 â PME3, pectin methylesterase 5 â PME5, polygalacturonase â PG, pectin lyase â PaL, pectate lyase â PL) â panel b in flax seedlings treated with pathogenic strains of F. oxysporum (F.ox.) at 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h after inoculation were presented as relative quantity (RQ) relative to reference gene (actin) in relation to control (C). The data were obtained from real-time RT-PCR analysis. The data represent the meanâ±âstandard deviations from three independent experiments. The significance of the differences between the means was determined using Studentâs t test (*Pâ<â0.05, **Pâ<â0.01)Back to article page
