Expression of TERF1 activates the expression of ROS response related genes in tobacco under normal condition (a) and H2O2 treatment (b). The transcript value for each gene is the average of three independent replicates. NtCA, carbonic anhydrase gene; NtCAT, catalase gene; NtGPX, glutathione peroxidase gene; NtVTC1, GDP-D-mannose pyrophosphorylase gene. The transcription level of each gene in wild type tobacco was set as “1”. NtActin was used as internal control. WT, wild type tobacco; OE-4/5, TERF1-expressing tobacco lines. Error bars indicate ±SD. Asterisks indicate significant differences from the data of wild type plants (P < 0.005, Student’s t test).
