Fig. 8From: Effect of volatile compounds produced by Ralstonia solanacearum on plant growth promoting and systemic resistance inducing potential of Bacillus volatilesTranscriptional expression profiles of genes involved in growth regulation after exposure to VOCs. qRT-PCR was performed with SYBR Green/Fluorescent qPCR master mix (Takara) on a Roche-480 system (Roche), and EF-1α was used as an internal reference. The relative expression levels of Nt-EXPA1 (a) , Nt-EXPA2 (b) and ACO-1 (c) were determined after exposure to VOCs by SYST2 alone or in combination with Rs. Similarly, the relative expression levels of Nt-EXPA1 (d) , Nt-EXPA2 (e) and ACO-1 (f) were determined after exposure to synthetic VOCs. Error bars indicate standard errors of the means. Different lower case letters above the error bars represent significant differences according to Duncan’s multiple-range test (P ≤ 0.05) using SPSS software (SPSS, Chicago, IL)Back to article page
