Fig. 7From: Genome-wide investigation and expression profiling of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) family genes uncover likely functions in organ development and stress responses in Populus trichocarpaRT-qPCR analysis of the expression profile of PPO genes. a Transcript-level analysis of five PtrPPOs in various tissues. YL, young leaf; AL, adult leaf; OL, old leaf; P, phloem; X, xylem; R, root. Transcript levels of the five PtrPPOs in response to PEG (b), ABA (c), and MeJA (d) were determined using RT-qPCR. Values are means + SE (n = 20). Asterisks denote significant differences: *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01Back to article page
