The rdd -downregulated stress response genes are enriched for Fo -induced expression pattern. Forty of the 99 rdd-downregulated genes identified by MapMan (Additional file 2: Table S4) have sequence reads in the RNA-seq data of Fo-infected and uninfected Col-0 plants at all three time points (1, 3, 6 dpi). Heatmap analysis revealed that 29 genes (72.5%) show ≥2-fold differential expression (DE) in Fo-infected plants in comparison to uninfected plants at one or more of the three time points (left). Three sets of 40 randomly selected genes (all having sequence reads in the RNA-seq data) show no enrichment for Fo-induced differential expression. Green bars, upregulation by Fo infection in the RNA-seq data; red bars, downregulation in the RNA-seq data.
