Monitoring of barley phenotypic and molecular changes. a temporal kinetic of infection in susceptible and resistant genotypes between 6 and 24 dpi. b Relative gene expression using qPCR analysis of PAL and PR2 transcripts and quantification of fungal Pg DNA present in R and S barley seedlings at selected time-points. Student t test was applied on gene expression data. Asterisks designate a statistical difference at P < 0.001 on each sample mean. The error bars correspond to the 95 % confidence interval calculated from the Student t test
