Overview of melatonin-induced CGMMV prevention responses in tobacco transcriptome. Scatterplot of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in tobacco following (A) CGMMV infection (CGMMV_CK vs. WT) and (B) melatonin+CGMMV infection (CGMMV_MEL vs. CGMMV_CK). Red and green dots indicate up- and downregulated DEGs, respectively, and blue dots indicate genes that were not significantly affected by treatment. DEGs were evaluated according to the following criteria: false discovery rate ≤ 0.05 and |log2(fold change)| ≥ 1. Data represent three biological replicates. Gene Ontology analysis results for DEGs between (C) CGMMV_CK and WT, and (D) CGMMV_MEL and CGMMV_CK
