Fig. 5From: Silicon protects soybean plants against Phytophthora sojae by interfering with effector-receptor expressionExpression profile of hormone-related genes. Gene expression shows a higher expression of five genes involved in SA metabolism (a), 13 genes involved in JA metabolism (b) in Phytophthora sojae-inoculated soybean plants at 4 dpi under Si− compared to Si+ treatment. Graph shows the average relative (%) expression at each timepoint based on the highest level of expression for each gene as a measure to showcase the trend in expression dynamics. Bars represent standard error from the mean (n = 5)Back to article page
