B. subtilis PTA-271 strongly primes PR2 gene in leaves of grapevine cuttings after infection with the N. parvum strain Np-Bt67. Twelve weeks old plantlets untreated or pretreated with PTA-271 were both infected with sterile PDA plugs (Control and Bs, respectively) or with mycelium plugs of Np-Bt67 (Ctl + Np-Bt67 and Bs + Np-Bt67, respectively). Transcript levels of defense-related genes were monitored by qRT-PCR in leaves at 4 days post infection. Results are from one representative replicate among three independent experiments showing the same trends. Different letters indicate significant differences. PR3 = class IV chitinase (chit4c); PR4 = PR-4 type protein; LOX9 = lipoxygenase 9; PR1 = pathogenesis-related protein 1; PR2 = class I β-1,3-glucanase; PR5 = thaumatin-like protein; GST1 = glutathione-S-transferase 1; PR10 = pathogenesis-related protein 10; PAL = phenylalanine ammonia lyase; STS = stilbene synthase; NCED2 = 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase 2.
