Closer inspection of the expression levels of these genes also confirms a decline in the degree of defense processes from the 2nd to the 6th day after co-cultivation (cf. Discussion).
Thus, this hormone might be important to balance growth of the microbe, the resulting benefits for the host, and the degree of defense gene activation of the host against the invader.
