Figure 2 Expression of genes related to bleaching and programmed cell death pathways, relative to control at time 0h. Control samples are depicted with dark grey dotted line, non-preconditioned (NPC) with light grey dashed line and preconditioned (PC) with black solid line. ΔΔCt method was used to calculate the relative expression and the ratios. Graph shows mean values with standard error bars. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test for each timepoint was used to test the difference of the values. * marks significant (p ≦ 0.05) difference between PC and NPC corals, n = 10.
