Fig. 8From: Overexpression of an apple LysM-containing protein gene, MdCERK1–2, confers improved resistance to the pathogenic fungus, Alternaria alternata, in Nicotiana benthamianaThe effect of MdCERK1–2 expression on polyphenol content and SA accumulation. a Polyphenol contents in OE, EV, and WT plants after A. alternata infection. b Basal SA levels in OE, EV, and WT plants. c SA levels in OE, EV, and WT plants after A. alternata infection. The data were analyzed for statistical differences by a two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test. Bars represent the mean ± SD (n = 4). Different letters indicate statistically significant differences; p < 0.05 was regarded as being statistically significantBack to article page
