Transcriptional responses in developing lesions of European common ash (Fraxinus excelsior) reveal genes responding to infection by Hymenoscyphus fraxineus

Table 2 Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in proximal symptomatic and distal non-symptomatic bark of common ash after infection with H. fraxineus nf4 in the common garden experiment

Comparison	more highly expressed in symptomatic tissues		more highly expressed in non-symptomatic tissues		Total^c
Comparison	DEG^a	de novo^b	DEG^a	de novo^b	Total^c
Symptomatic/non-symptomatic	693	66	316	1	1009

^athe total number of DEGs which is more highly expressed in a given genotype category, this number includes the de novo expressed transcripts
^bthe number of the DEGs which is de novo expressed, unique, transcripts
^cThe total number of DEGs in the comparison
