“…Therefore, N. benthamiana leaves treated with 1 μM VdEIX3 were collected at 0, 3, 6, and 12 h post inoculation (hpi) for reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis. The three selected MTI marker genes, PTI5, Acre31 (Kiba et al, 2018), CYP71D20 (Heese et al, 2007), and four pathogenesis-related genes PR1 (Dean et al, 2005), PR4 (Asai and Yoshioka, 2009), ERF1 (Zhang et al, 2017a(Zhang et al, , 2017b, and WRKY7 (Ishihama et al, 2011) were remarkably activated by the VdEIX3 treatment (Figure 3B, C). In particular, CYP71D20 and PR1 were upregulated by 8,000-and 10,000-fold, respectively.…”
