Fig. 6: Overview of modulated gene expression in tomato roots during T. harzianum T22 colonisation.

The illustration is based on annotation of the DEGs in iTAG2.4 and assignment to specific functional categories by MapMan ontology. Tomato genes that were significantly upregulated and downregulated in response to T. harzianum at each time point (24, 48 and 72 hpi) are in red and green, respectively. Gene families including both downregulated and upregulated members are in blue. Trichoderma transcripts involved in putative MAMP/DAMPs elicitation are also indicated. Solid and dashed lines represent established and hypothesised activities, respectively
