Expression levels and stress-responsive expression patterns of <i>TaRZs</i> in wheat.

Abstract

<p>(A) Transcript levels of <i>TaRZ1</i>, <i>TaRZ2</i>, and <i>TaRZ3</i> were analyzed via real-time RT-PCR and presented as relative expression (fold) of <i>TaRZ2</i> expression level. Two-week-old wheat plants were subjected to (B) salt, (C) dehydration, or (D) cold stress for 6, 12, 24, and 48 h, and the transcript levels of each <i>TaRZ</i> were analyzed via real-time RT-PCR and presented as the relative expression (fold) of the non-stressed controls. Values are means ± SE obtained from five independent experiments. Asterisks above each column indicate values that are statistically different from the control values (p≤0.05).</p
