Relative expression of defence‐related genes in transgenic tobacco lines overexpressing CaC3H14 or wild‐type (WT) tobacco plants, assessed using quantitative reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR). Plants were inoculated with Ralstonia solanacearum using root irrigation and assessed 48 h later. Controls were mock‐treated WT plants and transgenic plants. Expression in the former was set to unity. Data represent the mean ± standard deviation (SD) of two independent experiments, each with three replicates (n = 6). Different letters indicate significant difference as determined by Student–Newman–Keuls test (P < 0.01).
