Table 4 Expression of the candidate genes involved in the A. vulgare immune response. Transcripts of genes were quantified by RT-qPCR and normalized with the expression of the L8 ribosomal protein (RbL8) and the Elongation Factor 2 (EF2). The ratio of expression between symbiotic and asymbiotic conditions was calculated for each sample (F=whole females; Ov=ovaries; IT=immune tissues, see text). Over-expression and under-expression in symbiotic samples were highlighted in light grey and in dark grey respectively (* p<0.05; ** p<0.001; - no measurable response).
