Expression of Arabidopsis genes after colonization by T. asperelloides.
The expression of several genes as determined by qPCR in WT (solid lines) and wrky18/wrky40 (dashed lines) plants at 9, 24 and 48 h hpi. Gene expression level was calculated with respect to control at each time point. (A) Fmo1 and CYP71A13 and PAD3 (encoding camalexin biosynthesis genes) (B) AOS and LOX2 (encoding JA-biosynthesis genes) (C) JAZ8 and JAZ10 (encoding negative regulators of JA signaling). Each time point represents the fold expression average of three independent biological repetitions, and is relative to control collected in each of the specified time points. * significant different (P<0.05; t test).
