Identification of Genes Involved in the Responses of Tangor (C. reticulata × C. sinensis) to Drought Stress

Figure 3

An example of cDNA-AFLP profile on stress-treated tangor. D0~D11: 0, 3, 5, 8, and 11 days after drought stress treatment, respectively; (a) and (b) cDNA-AFLP profile with AseI-CT/TaqI-GG and AseI-AT/TaqI-TC primer combination. The differentially expressed TDFs showed four expression patterns. A: upregulation; B, D, and F: induction; C: downregulation; E: repression. The TDFs of genes induced were present in drought stress but not in control. The TDFs of genes repressed were present in control but not in drought stress. The expression of upregulated and downregulated genes could be detected in both control and drought stress, with increased and decreased expression intensity under drought stress, respectively, when compared with control.
