Fold change: infected divided by uninfected, e.g. 2 and 0.5 equal up‐regulated two‐fold and down‐regulated two‐fold, respectively. Significant expression changes according to P value.

Note that one gene, zea floricaula/leafy1 (zfl1: GRMZM2G098813), showed expression only in infected tissue and thus the fold change could not be determined.
