Fig. 4From: Systemic spreading of exogenous applied RNA biopesticides in the crop plant Hordeum vulgareDetection of CYP3RNA in barley leaves and shoots at different time points after spray application. Amount of CYP3RNA in the first (sprayed) leaf as well as non-sprayed second leaves and shoot tissue. The relative amount of sprayed CYP3RNA measured by qPCR decreased over time in leaves and increased in roots compared to mock-sprayed control leaves. Bars represent mean values ± SEs of three independent experiments. The reduction of CYP3RNA vs. mock-sprayed leaves was statistically significant (*P < 0.05; Student’s t-test)Back to article page
