biotic stresses using EARLI1 overexpressing (OX) and T-DNA knockout (KO) transgenic
Arabidopsis lines. Higher levels of expression of EARLI1 in OX lines were confirmed by RT-
PCR and Northern blot analysis. The full-length EARLI1 mRNA could not be detected by RT-
PCR in KO lines, while only a shorter transcript could be found by RNA gel blotting. In wild-
type Col-0 plants (Wt), EARLI1 could be induced by Botrytis cinerea and H 2 O 2, indicating …
