The transmembrane receptors trP47363 and trP13076 play a key role in melatonin, 5-methoxytryptamin, and 5-methoxyindole activation of the SA-signaling pathway. MT, 5-methoxytryptamine, and 5-methoxyindole induced expression of the SA marker gene, PR-1a, in leaves of wild-type and VIGS mutants of N. benthamiana. (A) RT-qPCR analysis of PR-1a gene expression in response to MT, 5-methoxytryptamine, and 5-methoxyindole treatments in wild-type plants. Values were normalized to levels of EF-1a expression. Values represent the mean relative expression level (fold-change) with expression levels in the control set to 1.0 ± standard deviation (SD; n = 9). (B) RT-qPCR analysis of MT, 5-methoxytryptamin, and 5-methoxyindole induced PR-1a gene expression in the mutant, ΔNbtrP49122-trP40966. (C,D) RT-qPCR analysis of MT, 5-methoxytryptamine, and 5-methoxyindole induced expression of PR-1a in leaves of the mutant lines, ΔNbtrP47363-trP13076 and ΔNbtrP47363-trP13076-trP49122-trP40966.
