Figure 7From: Altered gene expression changes in Arabidopsis leaf tissues and protoplasts in response to Plum pox virus infectionConfirmation of relative expression levels of the transcripts selected from the microarray analysis with semi quantitative RT-PCR (sqRT-PCR) or Northern blot hybridizations. Expression changes of 5 selected genes were determined by sqRT-PCR, microarray and Northern blot. The signal intensity of each transcript was normalized using At3g18780 (Actin 2). The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative (AGI) locus identifier of each gene is provided. The y-axis indicates the normalized expression level of the transcript. The x-axis represents hours post transfection or days post inoculation. Expression ratios are the average of three independent hybridizations ± standard deviation (SD). hpt, hours post transfection; dpi, days post inoculation. The error bars represent the standard deviation for the signals from each of the three independent hybridizations.Back to article page
