Transcriptional analyses of selected DEPs. a RT-qPCR analyses of genes encoding the selected down-regulated DEPs in controls and CWMV-infected plants. b RT-qPCR analyses of genes encoding the selected up-regulated DEPs in controls and CWMV-infected plants. Control plants were agro-infiltrated with agrobacterium cultures carrying the empty vector pCB-35S. Means ± standard deviations (SE) were calculated from three biological replicates relative to control plants, and each biological replicate comprised three technical replicates. ns, not significant; **, P < 0.01 (Student’s t-test). Controls were agro-infiltrated with agrobacterium cultures carrying the empty vector pCB-35S
