Fig. 2

Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of C .cinerea challenged by A. avenae for different time periods. Volcano plots showing DEGs in relation to FC (Fold change) and FDR (False discovery rate) for a 2 h nematode challenge vs. unchallenged control, b 8 h nematode challenge vs. unchallenged control, c 20 h nematode challenge vs. unchallenged control. Each gene is represented with a single data point. Genes with at least four fold change and FDR < 0.05 are colored red and considered significantly upregulated (upward triangles) or downregulated (downward triangles). d Venn diagram showing significantly upregulated (↑) and downregulated (↓) genes due to nematode challenge for each time point vs. unchallenged control. Overlapping areas represent DEGs common to different time points
