Similar experiments were conducted
in order to analyze gene expression via either microarray
analysis or reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR)
in Akashinriki. For microarray analysis, three replica experiments
were conducted, each including two treatments (treatment 1
involved growth in epiBL-amended soil and stem inoculation with
F. culmorum while treatment 2 involved growth in water-amended
soil and stem inoculation with F. culmorum).
