From: Induce defense response of DADS in eggplants during the biotrophic phase of Verticillium dahliae
Foliar application of DADS induces lignification and phenolic content to induce defense resistance to V. dahliae. (A) Histochemical analysis of lignin in the hypocotyl cross-sections of DADS-treated and control plants at 48 h post-inoculation (hpi). Scale bars = 100 px. (B) Quantification of the total lignin content in shoots and roots of DADS-treated and control plants at 48 hpi. Comparison of C, ferulic acid; D, p-coumaric acid; and E, caffeic acid in the roots of DADS-treated and control plants after 24 and 48 hpi. Data are the averages of three biological replicates for each time point. Error bars indicate standard deviations (n = 3). Different letters indicate significant differences according to Tukey’s HSD test (p ≤ 0.05)
