From: Decarboxylation mechanisms of C4 photosynthesis in Saccharum spp.: increased PEPCK activity under water-limiting conditions

Fig. 4

Expression of genes of the C4 pathway of sugarcane plants at different levels of water deficit. a - NADP-ME; b - NAD-ME1; c - NAD-ME2; d - PEPCK; e - AspAT1; f - AspAT2; g - AlaAT. Values are presented as mean by the E (Efficiency)-ΔΔCt method [65]. Cultivars: RB92579 and SP80–3280; Water deficit treatments: control, moderate, severe and recovery. For the calculations, the GAPDH normalizing gene was used and the control treatment of the susceptible plants (SP80–3280) was used. Error bar indicates the ± SD (n = 3)
