Figure 4: Disease control and defense priming of pepper defense-related genes CaPR4 and CaPR5 by strain RGJ1 under field conditions.

(A) Disease assay 1 week after leaf infiltration application of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vesicatoria at OD = 0.001 with a needleless syringe. Disease symptoms were evaluated 1 week after infiltration. (B) Induction of defense genes by strain RGJ1 on pepper leaves. The expression levels of two defense genes were quantified by qRT-PCR. Transcriptional expression of CaPR4 and CaPR5 was evaluated at 0 and 6 h after spray treatment of strain RGJ1, 1 mM BTH, and water on pepper leaves. Bars represent the mean ± SEM (N = 4).
