Effects of BBS on the expression of the rbcS, rbcL, and cAPX genes.

The cell suspension of BBS and sterile water were poured on the soil around cucumber roots in the BBS treatment (BBS) and the control (CK), respectively, and then watering was withheld for 13 days. A, The expression of the genes rbcS, rbcL and cAPX was detected at 0, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 dpi by RT-PCR. B, Relative mRNA levels of genes based on Quality One software of Bio-Rad. Each treatment was replicated three times. dpi, day post inoculation; Actin, internal reference.
