Figure 8

Model of morphogenesis caused by different ROS stress at sclerotial initiation stage in M. importuna. The receptor in the cell membranes receives signal and transmits to kinases that control the expression of transcription factors and downstream genes. Differential expression of H2O2-producing genes (sod) and H2O2-scavenging genes (cat) resulted in different H2O2 concentrations in SII and SIO. Some target genes of MSN2 (group A) showed upregulated expression in the sclerotium (inside), while others (group B) were up-regulated in hyphae (outside). Finally, Different morphogenesis (sclerotium formation in SII and hyphae growth in SIO) occurred. Genes marked with red indicated upregulation and of log2 (Fold Change) value was followed. Red and green arrows indicate upregulation or downregulation of expression, respectively. Black dotted arrows indicated unknown process. Ellipsis indicated unshown genes.
