Expression pattern of CsDIR16 in cucumber ‘D0351’ and ‘D9320’ after PM treatment and different stresses. a Relative transcript levels in fruits at 0.5, 1, 3, 6, and 9 h after PM treatment. b Relative transcript levels in leaves, stems, and roots at 6 h after PM treatment. c Relative transcript levels in 3-leaf seedlings after treatment with JA, SA, ABA, PEG4000, NaCl, or Cor. Controls were treated with distilled water. EF1α was detected as the internal control gene. Three biological replicates per treatment and three technical replicates were analyzed per sample. Significant differences are indicated by asterisks (**P < 0.01, *P < 0.05 by Student’s t-test), compared with the corresponding control. Error bars indicate the standard deviation of the mean
