Caption
Transgenic tomato fruit enhances susceptibility to B. cinerea. A, Photos of transgenic tomato fruit following B. cinerea infection at 0 and 3 dpi. Scale bar = 2 cm. B, Lesion diameter of tomato fruit after B. cinerea infection at 3 dpi. Data were collected from 21 to 27 tomato fruits for each transgenic line and WT plants. The dashed lines denote median and the dotted lines represent quartiles. Significant differences are indicated with asterisks (Student’s t-test, **P < 0.01). The expression of (C) PpUGT74F2 and (G) SlSAMT in transgenic tomato fruit with B. cinerea infection at 0 and 3 dpi. The content of (D) SAG, (E) SA, and (F) MeSA in transgenic tomato fruit with B. cinerea infection at 0 and 3 dpi. For C–G, Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). Fold changes are presented above the bars. Significant differences are indicated with different letters in the bars at P < 0.05 (Tukey one-way ANOVA).
