Figure 4From: Transcriptome analysis reveals new insight into appressorium formation and function in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzaeFunctional categorization of appressorium consensus genes. (a) Appressorium associated expression profiles were combined and 240 up-regulated and 117 down-regulated genes were designated as appressorium consensus genes (in italics). Abbreviations are same as in Figure 2. (b) Up-regulated (in pink) and down-regulated (in blue) genes were grouped according to their putative function.Back to article page
