The expression of plant defensin (CaPDF1.2), antioxidative (SOD, APx, and GPx) and pathogenesis related protein (PR-2 and PR-5) genes in pepper bioprimed with T. asperellum, T. harzianum and T. asperellum + T. harzianum upon challenged, C. truncatum inoculated and control samples. Each data indicated the mean of triplicates value, and the vertical bars give out the same alphabetical letters are not significantly different (p ≤ 0.05) using Duncan’s multiple range test. The Error bars indicate SD, and the asterisk indicates a significant difference. (Student’s t-test; ⁎ p < 0.005; ⁎⁎ p < 0.01; ⁎⁎⁎ p < 0.001)
