Treatments to test the effects of the sequence of the elicitor application, elicitor ID, and elicitor concentration on JA–SA interaction in tea plants

Treatments in black are dual elicitations of JA and SA pathways. Treatments in orange are the corresponding single elicitations of the JA (SA) pathway for the dual elicitations in that row (column). Treatments in blue are the controls. ‘–’ indicates no treatment. Numbers represent the elicitor solution concentrations (in mM). Ac, MeJA, JA, MeSA, and SA respectively represent 2% acetone, methyl jasmonate, jasmonic acid, methyl salicylate, and salicylic acid solutions. ‘&’ and ‘~’ indicate two solutions were applied simultaneously and at different times, respectively. Solutions before and after ‘~’ are the pre-spray and post-spray solutions, respectively.
