Our study aimed to identify the function of the <i>SlMYBS2</i> gene in response to tomato late blight.

Furthermore, after <i>P. infestans</i> infection, the expression levels of pathogenesis-related (<i>PR</i>) genes in <i>slmybs2-c</i> plants were significantly lower than those in wild-type (AC) plants, while the number of necrotic cells and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were higher than those in wild-type plants.
