TMEM37 and infection: As shown in Figure 6A, the relative expression levels of biotic stress-related genes including EREBP1, ERF113, KR3 and PR1 were higher in 35S-GmbZIP19-GFP soybean leaf than that in the 35S-GFP control, coinciding with the activated stress-related gene expression in GmbZIP19-OE Arabidopsis plants upon pathogen infection (Figure 3).
