Expression patterns of three MAPK genes induced by V. dahliae and VIGS analysis. (a) Q-PCR analysis of the expression of three MAPK genes after inoculation by V. dahliae. The error bars were calculated based on three biological replicates using standard deviation. “*”: significant difference (P < 0.05); “**”: significant difference (p < 0.01). (b) Phenotypes after TRV-VIGS silencing of three MAPK genes and GhCLA1. After two weeks post-treatment with TRV1 and TRV2/TRV2-MPKs, the treated plants exhibited normal growth. TRV1- and TRV-GhCLA1-treated plants exhibited a photobleaching phenotype. (c) Gene expression of MPK9, MPK13 and MPK25 in silenced and control plant leaves by Q-PCR analysis; The error bars were calculated based on three biological replicates using standard deviation. “*”: significant difference (P < 0.05); “**”: significant difference (p < 0.01). The cotton histone 3 (AF026714) was used as the reference gene.
