Figure 8.

Relative expression of 11 JrSWEET genes detected at different times after inoculation with Xaj417. The other 14 JrSWEET genes were not detected (not shown). Mock treatments received water, and inoculated treatments were infected with Xaj417 bacteria. Relative gene expression in mock and inoculated tissues was measured at 0, 24, 48, and 120 h post inoculation. Asterisks indicate a significant difference (p < 0.05 in multiple T tests) in expression between mock and inoculated treatments, as seen for JrPPO2 used as a reference for responsive genes.
