Figure 3

Gene expression analysis, Myzus persicae aphid performance and phenotype of three independent SKS13 overexpressing transgenic lines. (a) Quantitative RT-PCR expression analysis of SKS13 in rosette leaves of Columbia-0 (Col-0) and the three transgenic lines G101, G102 and G103. Values are the means ± SD (n = 3). (b) Performance of M. persicae on plants of Col-0 and the three transgenic lines G101, G102 and G103. Values are the means ± SD (n = 15). Bars marked with different letters are significantly different from each other (Kruskal–Wallis followed by Mann–Whitney U tests, P < 0.05). (c) Rosette leaf phenotype of six-week-old Col-0 and transgenic lines G101, G102 and G103.
