Amount of F. oxysporum constitutive gene translation elongation factor 1 alpha in roots of resistant Forrest soybean genotype inoculated with isolates FO36 (white boxes) and FO40 (grey boxes) of F. oxysporum, over a time course of 168 h. DNA quantities reported as ng of fungal DNA per mg of plant fresh tissue used for DNA extraction. Values represent the mean of three pools of roots for each time-point, where each pool derived from the mixing of five different roots. Same letters over the histograms state not significant differences between means of non-pathogenic (greek letters) and pathogenic (latin letters) inoculated samples, as resulting from Tukey’s HSD test (P ≤ 0.05). *indicate significant differences between non-pathogenic and pathogenic inoculated means within the same time of sampling, according to two-way ANOVA (*P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01; ***P ≤ 0.001)
