Figure 7.

Differential expression patterns of a set of MYB83-regulated genes involved in key biological processes associated with nematode parasitism. The RKPM values of the selected MYB83-regulated genes overlapping with the syncytium DEGs were row-wise normalized using Z score and used to construct the heat maps. Shown are genes involved in hormone signaling pathways (A), defense response (B), cell wall modification and sugar transport (C), and transcriptional control (D). Putative direct targets of MYB83 are highlighted in bold. Not that MYB83-regulated genes were identified under noninfected conditions and were compared with the syncytium DEGs previously identified by Szakasits et al. (2009) at 5 and 15 dpi. E, Schematic depicting the glucosinolate biosynthesis pathway in which 6 MYB83-regulated genes are highlighted in red.
