Target gene approaches: Gene expression in Daphnia magna exposed to predator-borne kairomones or to microcystin-producing and microcystin-free Microcystis aeruginosa

Table 1 Relative gene expression of the reference genes in D. magna after normalisation in the fish-kairomone experiment.

D. magna was raised either in a predator-free environment ('Calibrator') or in incubation water of Leucaspius delineatus (sunbleak, 'Vertebrate predator').
^aValues are mean of n = 3 replicates ± SD. Expression levels are displayed relative to the mean control level
^bSD is the variation of one reference gene across treatments.
