From: Arabidopsis ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR 8 (ERF8) has dual functions in ABA signaling and immunity
ERF8 is involved in defense against Pseudomonas syringae. Virulent P.s. pv maculicola ES4326 (Psm) was pressure infiltrated at an OD600 of 0.0001 into control or DEX-treated ERF8-OE plants (a) or erf8–1 knockdown plants (b). Avirulent Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst) carrying AvrRps4 (c) or AvrB (d) was pressure infiltrated into wildtype Ws-2 and erf8–1 knockdown plants. In planta bacterial growth was quantified at 1 or 3 days post inoculation (dpi). Asterisks indicate statistical significance (student’s t test; p < 0.01). Experiments were conducted twice (C&D) or 3 times (A&B) and showed reproducible results (n = 3 for 0 dpi, n = 8–10 for 1 or 3 dpi)
