Number of transcripts significantly altered in abundance in tobacco plants following infestation by M. persicae. Significantly altered transcripts were identified by two-way ANOVA (P < 0.05) with Benjamini-Hochberg correction using the factors genotype and infestation. All transcripts that were significant for aphid infestation were selected, and those that had a lower than 2-fold differential abundance in any of the genotypes were discarded. The remaining transcripts were considered differentially abundant in any of the genotypes if they had a greater than 2-fold difference in abundance between infested and uninfested plants. Venn diagrams illustrate the number of transcripts significantly more (A) or less (B) abundant in TAO, wild type (WT), and PAO lines as illustrated.
