Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and the expression comparison of the pathways of interest at transcriptional level. Sumai3(R) vs. Annong1589(M) at A: 5, B: 10 and C: 15 DPA. Annong1589(M) vs. Annong8455(S) at D: 5, E: 10 and F: 15 DPA. Sumai3(R) vs. Annong8455(S) at G: 5, H: 10 and I: 15 DPA. The FHB less resistant cultivar in the comparison was used as a reference. The x-axis of the enrichment plot represents the rank of the differential expression metric of genes in the dataset. The enrichment score (ES) line shows the trend of the enrichment score as the ranked gene list progresses. Positive values indicate enrichment at the top of the list, which indicate the genes in the gene set are more highly ranked and overrepresented, while negative values indicate enrichment at the bottom and inversely associated with the comparator
