Table 2. Annotated hbx1-dependent transcription factors. A list of A. flavus transcription factors was obtained from the Fungal Transcription Factor Database and compared to the list of hbx1 dependent DEGs. Annotations were retrieved from NCBI (full list is shown in Table S3). Expression values are those between the wild type (WT) and Δhbx1 at all time points assayed.
