Expression of defence-related PR1 in transgenic plants under normal growth conditions.
Expression levels of PR1 in transgenic plants under normal growth conditions were monitored by quantitative real-time PCR. The relative expression level was normalised against the expression level of CBP20, which is constitutively expressed. Each sample was repeated at least three times. Bars indicate the standard error (SE). The asterisks indicate significant differences compared with wild-type Ws-2 (Dunnett’s method, P < 0.05)50. The nucleotide sequence of the gene-specific primer is listed in Table S1.
