Relative expression average of M. incognita constitutive genes in infested rice O. sativa cv. Nipponbare roots. Gene expression was measured by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction in plants infested with M. incognita at different time points after treatment. Bars are the mean values (± standard error of the mean [SEM]) of Mi-csq-1, Mi-eif-3, Mi-GDP-2, Mi-Y45F10D.4, and Mi-actin genes expression data (Cq) in three independent biological replicates, with 35 plants per condition. (n=5; 3, each contained 35 plants pooled).
