‘Fold changes in target gene expression in roots of 360 g ha− 1 ethephon-treated red beet plants of ‘Monty Rz’ (a) and ‘Belushi Rz’ (b) relative to untreated plants (dashed horizontal line) at 16 weeks after sowing. The relative expression of target genes is determined according to the 2^(−ΔΔCt) method. Threshold cycles (Ct) for target genes are standardised to the BvActin Ct (ΔCt). Expression levels of target genes in untreated carrots were assigned an arbitrary value of 1. Data represent mean ± SE, n = 3
