Analysis of genes regulated by NbERF173 during P. parasitica infection. a Venn diagram representing the overlap among differentially expressed genes identified by RNA-Seq analysis. Up^T6 = T0or Down^T6 = T0 represent gene numbers are up-regulated or down-regulated upon infection in the control plants (pTRV), respectively. Down^E0-T0, Down^E6-T6, Up^E0-T0 and Up^E6-T6 mean the comparisons of the different genes between the NbERF173-silenced (E0, E6) and control (T0, T6) plants at 0 hpi (E0, T0) or 6 hpi (E6, T6), respectively. The gene numbers are the genes that are the 2-fold changes between each pair of comparison. b GO analyses of DEGs in response to silencing of NbERF173 and P. parasitica infection in yellow box. The top 20 enriched GO terms of up-regulated and down-regulated genes are shown on the graph. The top X-axis indicates DEGs numbers, and the bottom X-axis means −log10P-value. The Y-axis indicates GO category
