Figure 2

Genome-wide gene expression changes between B. cinerea strains TBC-A and TBC-6.

(A) Numbers of differentially expressed genes among the 12 culture samples at specific time points during the fermentation process. The graphs of upregulated genes are shown in red, and those for the downregulated genes are shown in blue. The criteria for the selection of DEGs was a log2 |fold change| ≥ 1, FDR < 0.001 and RPKM of at least one sample larger than 10. Scatter plots representing differential gene expression levels (represented as log2 RPKM) in (B) TBC-A-17 h vs. TBC-6-17 h, (C) TBC-A-120 h vs. TBC-6-120 h, (D) TBC-A-41 h vs. TBC-A-17 h and (E) TBC-A-120 h vs. TBC-A-96 h are shown. Color dots represent significantly differentially expressed genes that were overexpressed in the sample plotted on the X-axis (marked in red) or overexpressed in the sample plotted on the Y-axis (marked in blue). An additional threshold of RPKM ≥ 2 was used for the selection of DEGs in the scatterplots.
