Infection of VvSNAT2 overexpression lines of Arabidopsis with powdery mildew fungus. a Disease symptoms on WT and transgenic Arabidopsis plants at 7 days post-inoculation (dpi). b WT and transgenic Arabidopsis leaves stained with Trypan blue at 7 dpi. The results are representative of three independent experiments that yielded similar results. c Quantification of powdery mildew growth in Arabidopsis by calculating the number of conidiophores per colony at 4 and 7 dpi. Data represent mean ± SD of three independent biological replicates (n = 30). d Quantification of melatonin content in WT and transgenic Arabidopsis after pathogen inoculation. Data represent mean ± SD of three independent biological replicates at each time point. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences determined using Student’s t-test (*, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01)
