Figure 7: Expression patterns of genes involved in rubber biosynthesis in latex respond to ABA treatment.

The relative transcript abundances of genes involved in rubber biosynthesis were examined via qRT-PCR. The Y axis is the scale of the relative transcript abundance level. The X axis shows the time course of ABA treatment. The rubber tree actin gene (GenBank: HQ260674.1) was used as an internal control. Significant differences were assessed via ANOVA (one or two stars correspond to P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively).
