FIGURE 7.

Decreased gene expression in the MoBre2, MoSwd2, or MoSpp1 gene deletion mutants is highly correlated with decreased H3K4me3. (a) Volcano plots show changes in down‐regulated gene expression in knockouts compared to the wild type (WT) strains. The numbers of down‐regulated genes are indicated. (b) Heat map of differentially expressed genes between knockouts and the WT strains. (c–e) Example genomic tracks showing genes that exhibit decreased H3K4me3‐ChIP‐seq signal levels and down‐regulated RNA‐seq target genes. (f–h) Quantitative reverse transcription PCR for selected genes shows the expression in WT decreased compared with deletion mutants. Identified genes show decreased signals and the expression level is reduced in deletion mutants
