Trend analysis of gene expression in disease-resistant and disease-susceptible cultivars at different time points post infection. (A) 4 significant clusters of the resistant cultivar (p-value < 0.05). (B) Heatmap of the 4 significant clusters of the resistant cultivar. (C) 4 significant clusters of the susceptible cultivar (p-value < 0.05). (D) Heatmap of the 4 significant clusters of the susceptible cultivar. The heatmap colouring reflects the rank of the Z-scores. Data normalized by Z-score transformation can be used directly in the calculation of significant changes in gene expression between different samples and conditions.
