Further, DEGs associated with abscisic acid (ABA) related genessuch as abscisic acid receptors PYL(LOC103702957; LOC103698527), PYR(LOC103704693), probable protein phosphatasePP2C (LOC103697366), serine/threonine-proteinkinase SAPK (LOC103709232), and abscisicacid-insensitive 5-like protein 5 (LOC103701220; LOC103704361) wereup-regulated after infection as compared to control plants (Fig. 5B). Here, SFRP4 is linked to infection.
