Different expression patterns of fungal genes encoding plant cell wall-degrading enzymes and different plant carbon allocation in endophytic and pathogenetic interactions.
(a) Significantly regulated CAZymes in either H. oryzae or M. oryzae with enzymatic domains functioning in degrading cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. Orthologous genes are aligned in the same lines and the short line refers to orthologous genes that have been lost. DAI2, DAI6 and DAI20 refer to transcripts expressed by H. oryzae (RDAI) or M. oryzae (GDAI) infecting rice roots at 2, 6 and 20 days after inoculation, respectively. Red, increase in transcript abundance; green, decrease in transcript abundance. (b) GC-MS quantification of glucose and fructose in rice roots infected with H. oryzae (HOR), M. oryzae (MOR) or sterile water (Control, CON). Blue and red asterisks indicate significant differences of HOR when compared with CON and MOR, respectively (p < 0.01). The y-axis indicates the contents (mg) of D-glucose/D-fructose in 1 mg dry weight of rice roots.
