Fig. 9From: Genome-wide analysis of the WRKY gene family in the cucumber genome and transcriptome-wide identification of WRKY transcription factors that respond to biotic and abiotic stressesExpression analysis of CsWRKYs under biotic stresses. The CsWRKY genes transcripts were determined after the infection of powdery mildew (PM) for 48 h (a) [71] and of downy mildew (DM) for 1 to 8 days post inoculation (b) [54], respectively. Without inoculation as the control (CT). The FPKM values of CsWRKY genes under different treatments were gene-wisely normalized and shown on a heatmap by MeV software. -3.0 to 3.0 was artificially set with the color scale limits according to the normalized value. The color scale shows increasing expression levels from green to red. In the tables, red shadings indicated up-regulated genes, green shading indicated down-regulated genes.
