Effect of StWRKY1 silencing on late blight resistance mechanisms. (A) Late blight disease severity progress. Disease severity was quantified as lesion length (mm) at 3 d intervals. (B) Biomass of P. infestans on silenced (S) and non-silenced (NS) resistant potato genotypes. Biomass was quantified as relative P. infestans-specific (O-8) gene expression at 6 dpi. Relative transcript expression of (C) StWRKY1, and phenylpropanoid genes for (D) 4-coumarate:CoA ligase, (E) tyramine hydroxycinnamoyl transferase, (F) tyrosine decarboxylase, and (G) hydroxycinnamoyl transferase. Relative transcript expression was measured at 48 hpi in comparison with reference genes for elongation factor-1α and β-tubulin. RPS indicates resistant silenced and inoculated with P. infestans; RMS indicates resistant silenced and inoculated with mock-solution; see main text for further details. Significant differences in expression levels in RP compared with SP using Student’s t-test: *P<0.05, **P<0.01.
