DELLA proteins modulate transcript profiling during TMV-Cg infection. A) Relative mRNA levels of WRKY25, WRKY33, MPK3, RDR1, CSD1, and CSD2 were determined by RT-qPCR in TMV-Cg infected WT-Ler plants compared to mock-infected WT Ler plants at 5, 7 and 9 dpi. Expression level in mock inoculated WT plants was arbitrarily set to one (Log₂(1) = 0). B) Expression levels of WRKY25, WRKY33, MPK3, RDR1, CSD1 and CSD2, in quadruple-DELLA mutant infected plants compared to non-infected quadruple-DELLA mutant plants at 5, 7 and 9 dpi. Expression level in mock inoculated quadruple-DELLA plants was arbitrarily set to one (Log₂(1) = 0). A) and B) The means ± SE of four biological replicates are shown. This experiment was repeated twice with similar results.
