Among the top ten genes silent in the ‘S’ and expressed in the ‘A’ phenotype were haloacid dehalogenase‐like hydrolase involved in stress responses (Zan et al. 2023); plasma membrane ATPase, participating in plant–microbe interactions (Elmore & Coaker 2011); 40S ribosomal protein S3a, multifunctional protein regulating DNA repair, apoptosis, and plant innate immune response to bacterial infection (Gao & Hardwidge 2011); DNA‐binding domain of WRKY transcription factor, known for their role in plant immunity (Table 1) (Pandey and Somssich, 2009) and others. This evidence concerns the gene RPS3A and bacterial infectious disease.
