Gene expression during in-vitro seed colonization of Aspergillus flavus in groundnut. (a) Temporal distribution of relative abundance in expressed genes at different stages of fungal infection. The relative expression is found to be higher in infected samples of J 11 (J11-I) as compared to their control counter parts (J11-C) at 2nd day after inoculation (2DAI). The expression level of infected samples of JL 24 (JL24-I) was higher as compared to JL24-C. (b) Relative abundance of all the genes expressed during in-vitro seed colonization across subgenomes of groundnut progenitors. The relative abundance in terms of FPKM values were mapped onto A10 and B07 of A and B subgenomes, respectively. (c) Number of differentially expressed genes-DEGs (induced and repressed) during in-vitro seed colonization. The highest number of DEGs were mapped onto A03 and B03 of A and B subgenomes, respectively.
