Fig. 4: Marker strains induce distinct genes in foxtail millet.

A KEGG enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes in Baci173-, Baci299-, Acid550-, Kita594- inoculated seedlings. The differentially expressed genes represent the genes that were significantly upregulated or downregulated in seedlings inoculated with marker strain compared with control. Circle size represents the number of genes within the pathway and color represents the significance of the pathway. B Venn diagram showing the overlap of the significantly upregulated genes under different inoculations. C Transcript abundance of genes that were induced only in Baci173-, Baci299-, Acid550- and Kita594-inoculated seedlings, respectively.
