mRNA transcripts for photosynthesis-related proteins in potato leaves submitted to wounding (W) or Colorado potato beetle (CPB) feeding. The transcripts were extracted after 24 h, and quantified by real-time RT PCR using appropriate oligonucleotide primers (see Table 3 for details). Each bar is the mean of three independent (plant replicate) values ± se. Numbers in parentheses refer to protein spot numbers on 2-D gels (see Figure 2). C, control healthy plants.
