The expression profiles of translation-related genes during regeneration of cvs. ‘Jersey’ and ‘Mercada’ plants. a The relative expression level of plastid 16S and 23S rRNA genes. b, c The relative expression level of plastid- (b) and nuclear- (c) localised genes related to translation occurring in plastids, encoding: components of small ribosomal subunit (rps8), large ribosomal subunit (rpl16) and translation initiation factors (infA, InfB). Graphs show mean values of n ≥ 3 with SEM for relative expression level normalised to 43dC of cv. ‘Jersey’. An asterisk presents a value significantly different between cultivars at a certain day of culture. A hash indicates a value significantly different from the preceding day of culture within cultivar (Tukey’s test, P < 0.05). dC – day of culture
