(A) Experimental design and the number of differentially expressed genes for each treatment comparison. (B) Venn diagram (Oliveros, 2007) showing genes differentially expressed for each comparison and all possible combinations. (C) Hierarchical clustering analysis identified similar expression patterns in Si‐treated vs. non‐treated rice leaves and in brown spot‐infected vs. uninfected samples (Euclidean distance, complete linkage clustering, false discovery rate < 0.01). Si, silicon; Ctrl, control; I, inoculated; m, mock‐inoculated.
