Identification of genes uniquely expressed in resistant fruit. (A) Heatmap of genes within the locus identified as uniquely differentially expressed in resistant-aged (16 dpp) ‘Poinsett 76’ fruit. Row clustering was based on Euclidean distances. Heatmaps are scaled by row and indicate deviation relative to mean expression across all samples. Gene names are according to Chinese Long v.2 (CuGenDB; http://cucurbitgenomics.org/). (Read count data and corresponding Gy14v.2.1 gene names are provided in Supplemental Table 4 ). (B) Genes uniquely up- or down-regulated in transcriptome comparisons with two ARR+ genotypes (‘Poinsett 76’ and ‘Vlaspik’). Boxplots show the distribution and median (dark line) of normalized read counts from two experiments. ‘Gy 14’ is susceptible at both ages (8 and 16 dpp); ‘Poinsett 76’ and ‘Vlaspik’ are susceptible at 8 dpp and become resistant at 16 dpp. Three biological replicates of each age-genotype combination were used in each experiment.
