Expression profile of cotton DCL analysis by RT-qPCR during herbivore attack. Fibermax 966 and Delta Opal cotton plants were submitted to contact with 10 aphids for 24 h. Systemic leaves were collected at 24 hpi and 5, 15 and 25 dpi for evaluation of each DCL level over time. The fold change was calculated using the 2-ΔΔCt method as described by [51]. The standard deviation is indicated by the error bars, and “*” indicates significant differences, calculated using the GraphPad Prism program. * P < 0.1 ** P < 0.01 *** P < 0.001. hpi - hours post-aphid inoculation, dpi - days post-aphid inoculation
