GEM and infection: In the ABA—dependent signaling pathway, the 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED3) and the abscisic acid 8′-hydroxylase 1 (CYP707A1) as well as the ABI5 leucine zipper transcriptional factor (ABA Insensitive 5), the pre-mRNA polyadenylation factor (FIP1), the ABA-hypersensitive germination 3 (AHG3), and the GL2-expression modulator (GEM) were differentially expressed between bulb infection conditions.
