Results of microarray gene expression patterns validated by RT-PCR. The credible intervals for both the microarray (orange and light blue) and PCR (red and dark blue) results are for the six genes of interest and the five reference genes. The orange, red are results for ∆gcs 1, while light blue, dark blue are for ∆smt 1 respectively. The six genes of interest are siderochrome-iron transporter (CNAG_02083), membrane protein (CNAG_03912), membrane transport protein (CNAG_00539), sugar transporter (CNAG_06963), monosaccharide transporter (CNAG_05340), glucose transporter (CNAG_03772). The five reference genes are heat shock protein (CNAG_00334), prcDNA95 (CNAG_03780), mitochondrial protein (CNAG_00092), endoplasmic reticulum protein (CNAG_01307), δ-12 fatty acid desaturase (CNAG_01150)
