Figure 3. Venn diagrams showing up-regulated TF genes at infection-related developmental stages and under in vitro oxidative stress conditions.

(A) The number of genes induced during conidiation (112), germination (51), and appressorium formation (52) is indicated. These TF genes are grouped into the following seven categories: (1) conidiation-associated up-regulation; (2) germination-associated up-regulation; (3) appressorium-associated up-regulation; (4) up-regulation during conidiation, germination, and appressorium formation; (5) up-regulation during conidiation and germination; (6) up-regulation during conidition and appressorium formation; (7) up-regulation during germination and appressorium formation. TF genes in groups 1 to 4 are listed in Table S5. (B) Venn diagram showing the number of genes up-regulated TF genes at 78 hpi and 150 hpi, and in response to two sources of oxidative stress, 1 mM H₂O₂ and methyl viologen. (C) PCA of the expression data from 206 TF genes in the following conditions: conidiation [Con], conidial germination [Ger], appressorium formation [App], infection (78 hpi and 150 hpi), 1 mM H₂O₂, 5 mM H₂O₂, and 10 mM methyl viologen [MV].
