Table 4 List of gene-specific family related transcription factors that were differentially expressed and involved in regulating the transcriptional regulatory network for systemic defense, plant growth and flowering in tomato during microbial priming with T. harzianum T34. We have shown significant transcription (p-value) factors along with some of the non-significant genes (Pcal > 0.05) that were reported to be differentially expressesed at Pcal < 0.05 (significant). Some of the reported transcription factor were common to the Padj < 0.05 and Pcal < 0.01 and even more stringent cut-off scores like Padj < 0.01
