The cDNA was synthesized via the PrimeScriptTM RT reagent kit (TaKaRa, Dalian, China) according to instructions from the manufacturer. An RT-qPCR was carried out in a CFX96 real-time PCR system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) with TB Green ® Premix Ex Taq™ (Tli RNaseH Plus) (TaKaRa, Dalian, China). The B. cinerea actin gene BcactA (Bcin16g02020) was used as internal control. The relative expression of each gene was evaluated using the ΔΔCT method [22 (link)]. All primers used for the RT-qPCR analyses are listed in Table S1. The RT-qPCR assay was repeated three times, each with three biological replicates.
