Disease development and differentially expressed genes of B. distachyon infected by F. graminearum or M. oryzae. (a) Disease development of B. distachyon spikes infected by F. graminearum. (b) Disease development of B. distachyon leaves infected by M. oryzae. (c) The relative fungal transcript levels during B. distachyon - fungal interaction. (d) Venn diagram showing the common and differential transcriptional responses of up-regulated (in red) and down-regulated (in green) genes of B. distachyon spikes infected by F. graminearum at different time points. (e) Venn diagram showing common and differential transcriptional responses of up-regulated (in red) and down-regulated (in green) genes of B. distachyon leaves infected by M. oryzae infection at different time points. (f-h) Venn diagram showing the number of up-regulated (red arrows) and down-regulated (green arrows) genes of B. distachyon inoculated with F. graminearum and M. oryzae, respectively, at 24 h (f), 48 h (g), and 72/96 h (h). The statistical significances of the overlapped genes were analyzed by hypergeometric tests. “**”, P < 0.01; “ns”, not significant
