Fig. 8From: The lysin motif-containing proteins, Lyp1, Lyk7 and LysMe3, play important roles in chitin perception and defense against Verticillium dahliae in cotton Lyp1, Lyk7, and LysMe3 were involved in SA, JA, and ROS production. a Comparison of the expression levels of Lyp1, Lyk7 and LysMe3 in cotton plants treated with SA, JA, and ROS signal compounds and H2O-treated control plants. b The transcription levels of genes related to SA, JA, and ROS signaling pathways were analyzed in Lyp1, Lyk7, and LysMe3-silenced plants and TRV: 00 control plants by qRT-PCR. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three independent experiments with three technical replicates for each experiment. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences, as determined by Student’s t-tests (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01)Back to article page
