LARP1 and infection: The expression of the LAR1 gene was significantly higher in the fungus-infected tissues at 10 and 40 dpi compared to the wounded controls (Student’s t-test, p < 0.01; Figure 4A), whereas LAR2 transcripts were significantly higher over the whole course of infection compared to the wounded control saplings (Student’s t-test, p < 0.05; Figure 4B).
