WRKY17 Expression Analysis in Wild-Type and Mutant Plants.
The transcript level of WRKY17 was determined by Q-RT-PCR with cDNA generated from leaves of 4-week-old wild-type (closed diamonds), wrky11.1 (closed squares), and wrky11.2 (open squares) plants inoculated with Pst DC3000 or Pst DC3000 (avrRpt2) at 107 cfu/mL. The expression values of the individual genes were normalized using the expression level of β-Tubulin4 as an internal standard. These results are representative of four independent replicates. hpi, h after inoculation.
