From: Long intergenic non-coding RNAs modulate proximal protein-coding gene expression and tolerance to Candidatus Liberibacter spp. in potatoes

Fig. 6

a Schematic diagram showing plasmid vector employed for overexpression (OE) of the selected lincRNAs. b Photographs showing the phenotype of the transformed potato plants at 28 d post-transformation and GFP fluorescence. Scale bars indicate 1 cm (left) and 10 µm (right). c The relative expression level of the lincRNAs between the CT and OE plants estimated via RT-qPCR is shown in the bar plot. d Likewise, the relative expression level of the proximal PCGs located either in up- and downstream regions of the lincRNAs between CT and OE plants estimated via RT-qPCR is shown in bar plots. e Relative Candidatus Liberibacter spp. (CLso) titer between CT and the OE plants estimated via qPCR is shown via bar plot. Asterisks represent statistically significant (p value ≤ 0.05) differences compared to control (CT) as estimated by Student’s t-test. The error bars represent the standard error among the three biological replicates.
