TF and alkaline phosphatase measurement: Interestingly, Botrytis elliptica infection of Lilium regale down-regulates miR164 (Gao et al., 2017), and the transient overexpression of miR164f in apple leaves enhances their susceptibility to Alternaria alternata AP, possibly due to the down-regulation of a NAC TF (Zhou et al., 2023).
