Bacilli from high-CK genotypes differentially activate morphogenetic genes and CK pathway genes. S. lycopersicum cv. M82 plants were pre-treated with indicated bacteria (OD600 = 0.1) once a week, two treatments in total, starting from cotyledon emergence. Gene expression was assayed by qRT-PCR, 3 days after the second treatment. Floating bars indicate minimum to maximum values (box) with mean (line in box). Bacilli are indicated in pale gray bars, gram negative bacteria in dark gray bars. Genes were normalized to a geometric mean of the expression of 3 normalizers: SlExp, SlCYP, and SlRPL8. A SlCKX2; B SlCKX6; C SlCKX5; D SlIPT3; E SlTRR3/4; F SlTKN2; G SlCLAU; H SlGOB; I SlPR1a; J SlLoxD. Asterisks indicate statistical significance from Mock treatment in an unpaired two-tailed t-test with Welch's correction, N = 6, p < 0.05. (*p value < 0.05; **p value < 0.01; ns- non significant)
