The effect of MdCERK1–2 OE on defense-related genes in Nb plants. a, Basal expressions of defense-related genes in Nb plants. b–f, Induced expressions of defense-related genes by A. alternata. Leaves were collected at 0, 24, 48, and 72 hpi. The expression levels of defense-related genes were determined using qRT-PCR. Three replicates were used for each gene and 3 independent experiments were performed. The data were analyzed for statistical differences by a two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test. Asterisks indicate significant difference when compared to the WT at the indicated time points (** p < 0.01)
