Gene expression plots. All the genes for which differences between the experimental groups were detected as significant by maSigPro time course analysis are shown. DEGs that didn’t show different expression patterns group in 2 clusters with increasing and diminishing expression level (a). 4 clusters of DEGs presented differences between Early and Control, with clusters 1 and 3 showing decreasing expression and 2 and 4 with the opposite trend (b). DEGs with differences between Late and Control also form 4 clusters, with clusters 1 and 2 increasing the expression with time, cluster 3 with a decreasing one and cluster 4 reaching a peak at 189 DPA (c). Finally, DEGs with differences detected among the three groups also display different expression patterns with clusters 1 and 4 showing decreasing trends, and clusters 2 and 3 with increasing ones (d)
