CAD and infection: Similarly, gene expression in C. equisetifolia in these two secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways was similar after infection by B. amyloliquefaciens and the mixed strains; however, gene expression in C. equisetifolia infected by B. aryabhattai and the mixed strains differed significantly, with genes such as ANR, ANS, CAD, CHI, CYP75A, DFR, and F3H significantly upregulated and CYP73A, CYP93B2_16, and TOGT1 significantly downregulated.
