Summary of the identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during infection at different time points. A, B, and C Scatter charts showing differentially expressed genes 3, 4 and 5 days post inoculation (dpi) compared to that of the control 0 dpi, respectively. The abscissa represents the gene expression level at 0 dpi, and the ordinate represents the gene expression level 3, 4 and 5 dpi. A red dot indicates a significantly upregulated gene, a green dot indicates a significantly downregulated gene, and a gray dot indicates a gene for which the expression was not significantly different. D Venn diagram showing differentially expressed genes 3, 4 and 5 dpi compared to that of the control 0 dpi. The circles with different colours indicate different gene sets, and the values represent the number of common and unique genes among different gene sets; E Heatmap showing the DEGs. The colour in the figure indicates the expression level of the gene after standardization in each sample: red indicates that a gene with a high expression level, blue indicates a gene with a low expression level, and the number under the upper left colour bar indicates the specific expression level
