Critical DEGs involved defense- and stress-related genes in response to CGMMV and melatonin+CGMMV infection. A Summary of DEGs in defense- and stress-related genes in response to CGMMV and melatonin+CGMMV infection. B qRT-PCR was performed to examine the transcript levels of five genes (CRISP1, ERF1B, ERF RAP2-1, MYB EFM-like, and MYB1R1) in response to melatonin+CGMMV inoculation after melatonin treatment. C qRT-PCR was performed to examine the transcript levels of CRISP1, ERF1B, ERF RAP2-1, MYB EFM-like, and MYB1R1 in response to CGMMV infection. Bars are SEM from three biological repeats. Significant differences were evaluated using a two-sample unequal variance t-test (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01)
