Expression of SA and JA, expression of related genes and predictive expression model. A SA (a) and JA (b) hormone levels in the ERF2-silenced plants. The data presented in (A) are the means ± SD from three independent experiments, and different letters above the columns indicate significant differences at the p < 0.05 level. B Silencing of ERF2 decreased the expression levels of the Pto and PR genes after infection with S. lycopersici. TRV::00, empty vector plants; TRV::ERF2, ERF2-silenced plants. The asterisks indicate significant differences in the expression levels between the silenced lines and the control lines (**p < 0.01; *p < 0.05, Student’s t-test). C Hypothetical model for the ERF2-mediated defense response to S. lycopersici
