Differentially expressed genes responding to A. flavus inoculation in AF99 and AF32 during infection. a. Enriched gene ontology (GO) terms of down- and up-regulated genes responding to A. flavus inoculation (infection vs. mock-treatment) in AF99 and AF32 at different time points. Color depth represents the degree of significance, as shown in the scale at the bottom (corrected p-value was normalized). R0-R5 and S0-S5 represent samples challenged with pathogen at the 0, 0.5, 1.5, 3 and 6 hpi in AF99 and AF32, respectively; RC0-RC5 and SC0-SC5 represent samples treated with ddH2O at the 0, 0.5, 1.5, 3 and 6 hpi in AF99 and AF32, respectively. b. Biotic stress pathways visualized by searching for the known genes in response to A. flavus inoculation at the T4 stage in AF99 (upper panel) and AF32 (lower panel) through MapMan software. Each small square represents a gene. Blue indicates the down-regulated genes (log2(R4/RC4) or log2(SC4/S4) < − 1) and red indicates the up-regulated genes (log2(R4/RC4) or log2(SC4/S4) > 1). The scale from − 1 to + 1 represents the normalized log2 (fold change) in each compared group
