From: Functional analysis of the SlERF01 gene in disease resistance to S. lycopersici
Overexpression of SlERF01 enhances the disease resistance of tomato. a Disease symptoms in wild-type plants, SlERF01-overexpressing transgenic plants and silenced plants post inoculation with S. lycopersici. The transgenic (35 s::SlERF01) plants exhibited a highly resistant phenotype, and the silenced (TRV::SlERF01) plants exhibited severe disease symptoms. MT plants transformed with an empty vector (35 s::00); MO resistant plants transformed with a silencing vector (TRV::00). b Expression levels of SlERF01 in wild-type plants, OE plants and VIGS plants. Three OE lines (OE5, OE11 and OE15) and three VIGS (TRV) lines (TRV3, TRV7 and TRV8) were analyzed via qRT-PCR. Three biological replicates were included for each sample. The asterisks indicate significant differences in expression levels between transgenic lines and control lines (**, P < 0.01; *, P < 0.05, Student’s t-test)
