In the face of a large number of commonly up-regulated genes, particular emphasis was placed on the highly up-regulated genes resulting in 32 DEGs with the Log2 fold-change ≥ 5 in both lines at 6 DPI (Table 2), of which a large proportion (40.6%) were assigned to Go term “response to stimulus.” For example, marker genes of stress signaling such as pathogen-related genes (PR) and osmotin-like protein were intensely induced, and PR proteins are inducible by infection with various types of pathogens in many plant families (van Loon et al., 2006). Here, TMEM37 is linked to infection.
