qRT-PCR cycle threshold (CT, PCR cycles) of IscU (CG9836), candidate gene of the male GWAS, paraquat treatment (200 µM paraquat in 1% sucrose for 24 h), one pooled sample of 15 males per line and treatment (males frozen after the climbing assay; total RNA, oligo-dT cDNA, SYBR Green qRT-PCR on an ABI 7300, single reaction). Lower CT = higher expression. From 'Male Gene Expression Data.xlsx', sheet IscU. Normalise with CT_RpL32_PQ of the same row (primer efficiency 92%, Table S1). Reactions with primer dimers, late amplification or several products were discarded by the authors (NA). [No unit]
