GWSF-EuSWAP70 gene expression to enhance gray mold resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana
The results showed that the EuSWAP70 gene was successfully transformed into A. thaliana, and the PCR assay confirmed the presence of the EuSWAP70 gene in transgenic Arabidopsis plants. The gray mold resistance of the EuSWAP70 transgenic Arabidopsis plants under GWSF and CaMV35S promoters was evaluated against Botrytis cinerea infection. After gray mold infection, Arabidopsis plants were ranked by leaf pore area percentage: wildtype > CaMV35S-EuSWAP70 > GWSF-EuSWAP70. The transgenic plants showed stronger gray mold resistance, and the GWSF-EuSWAP70 transgenic plants were stronger than the CaMV35S-EuSWAP70 transgenic plants.
