Abstract excerpt
This study investigated the expression pattern of genes encoding for a basic PR-1 protein, a basic beta-1,3-glucanase, a peroxidase, and a sesquiterpene cyclase involved in defense responses in three pepper cultivars with different levels of resistance to Phytophthora capsici. All genes were up-regulated in infected stems of the pepper cultivars, with expression being detected 8h post-inoculation. mRNA levels of...
