Schematic representation of the experimental setup of priming, infection and sampling of material. Plants were treated with fructans at 0 h. Seventy-two hours after treatments, leaves detached and infected with B. cinerea. Samples were taken 3 h, 24 h and 72 h after treatment, and 24 h after infection (96 h after treatment). Disease symptoms were scored 72 h after infection (144 h after treatment). ROS burst experiments were conducted 24 h after treatments.
