Expression of Hessian fly-responsive biomarker genes in Hessian fly-resistant Ae. tauschii accessions. Transcript levels of a) Hfr-1 (Hessian fly response gene 1), b) Hfr-3 (Hessian fly response gene 3), c) Cer4 (Fatty acyl CoA reductase), and d) Mds-1 (Mayetiola destructor susceptibility gene 1) quantified by qRT-PCR in infested and uninfested TA2473 (solid bar) and TA1651 (diagonal bar) lines at 1 and 3 DAH time-points. Values are plotted as the log fold-change of infested compared to uninfested control plants with standard error bars for 3 biological replicates. Statistically significant (p < 0.05) differences are indicated by ‘*’ with linear fold-change values above each bar
