CmWRKY8-1 was fused to the VP64 (4 × VP16) protein to produce the transcriptional activator R4-FVuv-CmWRKY8-1. The vector was introduced into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 and ‘Jinba’ was transformed by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation [51 (link)]. Transgenic chrysanthemums were primed with vector primers and CmWRKY8-1 specific primers (Table S2) for DNA-level identification. qRT-PCR analysis at the RNA level was performed using CmWRKY8-1 quantitative primers.
