Resistance identification of tomato bacterial wilt after silencing WRKY75 gene. (a) Phenotypic symtoms after inoculation with Ralstonia solanacearum of wild-type Hm 2–2 (TRV::empty) and silencing WRKY75 (TRV::WRKY75) tomato plants; (b) qRT-PCR of WRKY75 gene; (c) Disease scoring after infection with R. solanacearum in wild-type Hm 2–2 (dark gray) and silencing WRKY75 (light gray) tomato plants. Results are averages ± s.e.m. (n = 20). *P < 0.05 using Student’s t-test. We repeated all experiments at least three times with similar results.
