Expression of AtSUC genes upon B. cinerea infection. Relative gene expression of AtSUC1, -2, -3, -4, and -5 was performed by RT-qPCR on B. cinerea treated leaves (5 × 10⁴ conidia ml⁻¹) of wild type and cwin1-1 plants 48 h post-inoculation. Genes that were expressed below the detection level are not presented. Results were normalized to the plant reference genes At4g26410 and AtACTIN2 (At3g18780). Data represent mean (±SE) of at least 2 independent experiments. Asterisks represent significant differences compared to the corresponding Mock condition (Student's t-test, ^*P < 0.05; ^**P < 0.01).
