Relative expression of gene responses to salicylic acid in the Pi04089 transgenic potato line and the E3 control line. (a) Expression of six genes enriched in the pathway that responds to salicylic acid in Pi04089 transgenic plants. Gene-specific primers were designed to quantity the expression of six genes. The expression level was normalized to StEF and is shown relative to the control plant. Six genes were significantly downregulated in Pi04089 transgenic plants as compared to control plants (one-way ANOVA, **, p < 0.01). (b) The PR1 gene (PGSC0003DMG400005111) was downregulated in three transgenic lines (one-way ANOVA, *, p < 0.05). The experiment was conducted using three biological repeats
