PR-8 mRNA accumulation in cucumber leaves in response to different concentrations of BTH. Total RNA was extracted from cucumber leaves 24 h and 48 h after spraying with water, 10 μM BTH, 30 μM BTH, 100 μM BTH or from untreated leaves (UT). RNA was fractionated by electrophoresis on agarose gel. Northern blot was probed with α-32P labeled PR-8 cDNA. Loading of equal amounts of RNA was confirmed by ethidium bromide (Et Br) staining.
