Differential expression in Microbotryum lychnidis-dioicae. Proportions of genes upregulated in at least one haploid stage (in red, 1N upregulated), upregulated at the dikaryotic stage (in green, N+N upregulated) or showing no differential expression (in blue). Expression level was considered significantly different at the 0.001 threshold. Different thresholds for significance did not change the patterns notably (Suppl. Figure S1). Genes are separated according to their genomic compartment: autosomes, pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) of the mating-type chromosome, non-recombining region (NRR) of the mating-type chromosome, and into the black vs. color evolutionary strata.
