Figure 5. Genotype→gene expression→phenotype associations between PGRPSD_494 allele, Ef-induced expression of effectors, and E. faecalis bacterial load.

(A) First principal component from the expression of effectors in the Ef-induced sample, plotted against bacterial load 28 hours after E. faecalis infection. (B) Box plot of the first principle component from the expression of effectors in the Ef-induced sample for the two allelic states at the PGRPSD_494 marker. (C) Box plot of bacterial load 28 hours after E. faecalis infection for the two allelic states at the PGRPSD_494 marker.
