LBD20 is a repressor of a subset of JA-regulated defense genes. Expression of JA-response genes was examined in wild-type (WT) and lbd20 root (A) or shoot tissue (B) 6 h post mock or MeJA treatment. Gene expression levels are relative to the internal control β-actin genes. The average of three biological replicates consisting of pools of 30 to 40 plants is shown with se. Asterisks indicate values that are significantly different (**P < 0.01, *P < 0.05 Student’s t test) from WT. Similar results were obtained in independent experiments.
