From: Plant defensive responses to insect eggs are inducible by general egg-associated elicitors
Response of Arabidopsis thaliana to egg secretions obtained from one individual of Diprion pini (Dp), Pieris brassicae (Pb) and Xanthogaluerca luteola (Xl) compared to response levels in leaves of untreated control (C) plants. We determined expression levels of CATION EXCHANGER 3 (CAX3) and PATHOGENESIS-RELATED- (PR) genes PR1 and PR2. Boxplots show interquartile ranges (25–75%), medians (horizontal line), whiskers (10th and 90th percentiles) and means (triangles). Expressions were normalized to two reference genes and untreated control leaves. Depicted are mean log2FC relative expressions. Different letters indicate significant differences between the treatments (P < 0.05, ANOVA with Tukey test post hoc). N = 4. Statistical details are provided in Supplementary Table S2.
