Evaluation of expression and numbers of Meloidogyne javanica females. a Relative expression of GmHsp22.4 in transformed and WT Arabidopsis thaliana plants infected with Meloidogyne javanica. b Number of Meloidogyne javanica females at 22 days after inoculation in GmHsp22.4-overexpressing and WT Arabidopsis thaliana (n = 14). Data are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean. A p-value ≤0,05. * indicates statistical significance at the 5% level (Scheffé’s -test) compared to WT
