Table 4 qPCR results. Effect of the treatments on the expression of RBOHD1, CAT, CHS, CDKB1.1, and CDKD3.1 genes in V. faba. The transcript levels were normalized with respect to β-TUBULIN and expressed in arbitrary units (A.U.) with respect to the control (considered as unit, 1). Data are means ± S.E. of three different measurements (n = 3). (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; vs CNT)
