RT-qPCR assay for validating selected DEGs from RNAseq data. a Glutathione-S-transferase epsilon 2 (GSTE2); b cytochrome P450 9J24 (CYP9J24); c cytochrome P450 12F6 (CYP12F6); d calreticulin (Cal); e hexaprenyldihydroxybenzoate methyltransferase (Methyl); f metalloproteinase (Metallo). Gene expression levels are relative to those from the endogenous control genes, actin and RPS17, used for normalization. Means and standard errors were obtained from three biological replicates. *p < 0.0001, **p < 0.0006, ***p < 0.0026, ****p < 0.0056 and *****p < 0.0166
