From each plant, we sampled two mature leaves, which were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C until DNA and RNA extraction. DNA and RNA extractions were done using the DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and the NucleoSpin RNA Plus Mini kit (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany), respectively, following the protocols provided by the manufacturers. Contaminating genomic DNA was removed from the RNA samples by treatment with the TURBO DNA-Free Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), and cDNA was then synthesized using the Transcriptor High Fidelity cDNA Synthesis Kit (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) based on random hexamer priming according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Total RNA was extracted with the NucleoSpin RNA Plus, Mini kit (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany, # 740984.50) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. RNA concentrations were evaluated using a spectrophotometer, and the purity was assessed based on the ratio of absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm (A260–A280). Subsequently, RNA was reversely transcribed using the qScript Ultra SuperMix (Quantabio, Beverly, MA, United States, #95217-100) and the resulting cDNA was used for real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with the PerfeCTa SYBR Green FastMix (Quantabio, Beverly, MA, United States, # 95071). The gene expression of IL-6, Cyr61/CCN1, and CTGF/CCN2 was quantified by real-time PCR on the PCR MyiQ™ 2 Cycler (Biorad, Kabelsketal, Germany), using the IQ 5 software (version: 2.1.97.1001) and the following conditions: 95°C for 15 s, followed by 45 cycles at 95°C for 5 s, 60°C for 15 s, and extension at 68°C for 10 s. The primers (Eurofins Genomics, Ebersberg, Germany) are listed in Table 1. Cycle threshold (Ct) values of target genes were normalized to the housekeeping gene β-Actin.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
