In contrast, the mRNA levels of the Ph-associated genes such as SUC2, APL, CLE45, NAC45, NAC86 and SEOR1 (Truernit and Sauer, 1995; Bonke et al., 2003; Froelich et al., 2011; Depuydt et al., 2013; Furuta et al., 2014) showed only a small increment at late infection stages (Figures 3A,C). The gene discussed is FASLG; the disease is infection.
