Fig. 7. Fod inoculation effect on transcriptional levels of putative genes encoding the CHS, CHI and FLS enzymes (i.e., chi, chs and fls) and gene encoding the MYB11 transcription factor (cmyb11) in carnation roots for 'Golem' resistant (GRC) and 'Mizuki' susceptible (MSC) cultivars. Gene expression levels of Fod-inoculated and non-inoculated (control) carnation plants based on real-time RT-PCR experiments. Box plots for the relative quantification of mRNA to histone (left) and the ratio of inoculated/control mRNA levels (right) for (a) chs, (b) chi, (c) fls, and (d) cmyb11. Green boxes = control GRC; light green boxes = inoculated GRC; Blue boxes = control MSC; light blue boxes = inoculated MSC; red boxes = inoculated/control mRNA level ratio of GRC; purple boxes = inoculated/control mRNA level ratio of MSC. Different letter indicates significant differences for each post-inoculation time examined according to Tukey test (P <0.05).
