Fig. 2: Nectarine and M. laxa gene expression profiles.

From: Depicting the battle between nectarine and Monilinia laxa: the fruit developmental stage dictates the effectiveness of the host defenses and the pathogen’s infection strategies

a, b Patterns of gene expression represented by principal component analysis (PCA) plots of normalized count matrices for nectarine (a) and M. laxa (b), generated by DESeq2 through differential expression analysis for both control (△) and inoculated tissue (◯). Labels indicate the time point (6, 14, 24, and 48 hpi) in both immature (IM) and mature (M) stage. c Amount of nectarine differentially expressed genes (DEGs) as a result of the pairwise comparison of inoculated vs control tissue obtained in DESeq2 (P-adj value ≤0.05). The upper part shows the upregulated DEGs and the lower, the downregulated ones, of all the four time points analyzed for the immature (light brown) and the mature (dark brown). The number of DEGs in each set are shown. d Amount of M. laxa DEGs obtained through pairwise comparisons between 14, 24, and 48 hpi compared to 6 hpi in both immature (light brown) and mature (dark brown) tissue. The highest groups of DEGs number in each set are indicated. Dots and lines represent the common DEGs that were found between time points in each stage
