Exogenous BR promotes rose petal resistance to B. cinerea. a Mock- and BR-treated rose petals inoculated with B. cinerea. b The diameter of the lesions in petals subjected to exogenous BR or water. Values are the mean of four biological replicates using 16 rose petals (Student’s t-test, p-value < 0.01). c) Quantification of B. cinerea biomass in rose petals. Fungal biomass was determined using qRT-PCR, comparing B. cinerea internal transcribed spacer (ITS) relative to the rose RhUbi. Error bars represent the SD of the qRT-PCR results from three independent replicates
