Other relevant genes that were upregulated during infection at 2 or 7 dpi on the green side of the RF were related to phytohormones and the defense response and included transcripts related to ethylene (ASA1, AOX1, EOL1, GH3.5, GH3.8, UBA2A1, UBA2A2), Abscisic acid (ASPG1, CAT1, CAT2, LPP2, NAC4, UBA2A), Jasmonic acid (CHS1, CHS2, CHS3, CHS4, CHS5, IAA14, TIFY9), MAP kinase (LRR-RLK, PDR1, RLPK, MAPK16, MAPK31, MAPK32), and Salicylic acid (PAL, PNAE, SUBI-1, TSJT1, UBQ10.1, UBQ10.2, UBQ10.3) (Fig. 4d–h and Supplementary Table S2). This evidence concerns the gene AOX1 and infection.
