In TZAR101, the putative ZmWRKY19, ZmWRKY67, ZmWRKY68, ZmNPR1, and ZmERF1 were expressed at higher levels, both
constitutively and upon inoculation than in B73. The remaining genes showed significant differences in expression in response to treatments across the time course in both TZAR101 and B73 with the exception of ZmWRKY21.
