Relative expression of genes in UVR8-dependent and UVR8-independent UV-B response pathways in A. thaliana and P. cheesemanii. Six-week-old A. thaliana and nine-week-old P. cheesemanii plants were treated with white light (Control) or white light supplemented with UV-B radiation for 5 h (UV-B-5 h). Mature leaves were harvested for RT-qPCR analysis. The expression of transcripts indicated in each of the graphs was normalized to the reference genes of A. thaliana and P. cheesemanii, respectively. Relative expression (fold change) was calculated by dividing expression values of UV-B-treated plants with those of control-treated plants. 1, A. thaliana Col-0; 2, A. thaliana Kondara; 3, P. cheesemanii Kingston; 4, P. cheesemanii Wye creek. Data were from three independent biological replicates. Error bars represent SEM. Means with different lowercase letters indicate values of UV-B treated samples that are significantly different between the accessions analyzed (Tukey’s HSD, p < 0.05)
