Expression profile of candidate genes from transcriptome profiling post challenge with C. austroafricana. a – EgrACO; b – EgrIPCS; c – EgrOSM34; d – EgrPNP-A; e – EgrPR1B; f - EgrPR3. TAG5 mock-inoculated (White bars) and TAG5 inoculated (black bars). ZG14 mock-inoculated (Light grey bars) and ZG14 inoculated (Dark grey bars). The y axis represents the relative gene expression ratios as arbitrary units. Error bars are indicative of the standard error of the mean of the biological replicates (n = 3) for each sample. Significant differences are denoted by different alphabets (Kruskal-Walis test, p < 0.05).
