Identification of putative DEGs genes JA biosynthesis in strawberry leaves infected by P. aphanis. The phylogenetic relationships existing between the strawberry NPR (a), JAZ (b), TGA (c), MYC2 (d), and WRKY70 (e) proteins used in this study (black arrow) with their closest homologues. Numbers at branches indicate posterior probabilities and bootstrap percentages based on 1000 replicates. Heatmap was generated using the average values [log10 (FPKM+ 1)] of three biological samples per treatment, representing the relative transcript expression levels of DEGs in leaves. The colour bar indicates the expression values as an increasing intensity gradient (blue, low expression; red, high expression). f Changes in relative expression of FaNPR3-like, FaTGA, FaJAZ1, FaJAZ10, FaMYC-like and FaMYC2 genes at 0 dpi and 3 dpi in both groups. The values were normalized against controls and correspond to the mean of three biological replicates ± S.E. Asterisks indicate significant differences (* p < 0.05). At, Arabidopsis thaliana, all protein information are available at Uniprot database (https://www.uniprot.org/). NPR, Non-expressor of pathogenesis-related gene; JAZ, JASMONATE ZIM-Domain; TGA, TGACG motif-binding factor; WRKY, W box (5′-(T) TGAC [CT]-3′) motif-binding factor; MYC2, nuclear-localized basic helix-loop-helix–type transcription factor
