Summary of homologs of cannabis genes used in qPCR.

Gene	Function	PAMP	Reference
Ethylene Response Factor 1 [ERF1]	Transcriptional activator which acts downstream of the ethylene signaling pathway. It mediates development and regulates pathogen defense genes [16].	harpin and flg22	[2,17]
Ethylene Insensitive Protein 5 [EIN5]	Required for plant growth enhancement [2]. Acts downstream of CTR1, a negative regulator of the pathway. If ethylene is present, CTR1 does not act, and the pathway can be activated [3].	harpin	[3]
Ethylene Insensitive Protein 2 [EIN2]	Required for insect resistance in plants [2]. Protein located downstream of CTR1 in the ethylene pathway. If CTR1 is inhibited, then EIN2 may be activated. It is a Nramp-like protein, meaning it is a natural resistance-associated macrophage protein [18].	harpin	[2,18]
Flg22-Induced Receptor Like Kinase 1 [FRK1]	Associated with early defense signaling as well as mediating senescence. Following flg22 exposure in an organism, FRK1 regulation likely increases accordingly [19].	flg22	[19]
Pathogenesis Related Protein 1 [PR1]	Gene expression increases following pathogen detection [20]. It is an indicator of systemic acquired resistance.	flg22	[21]
