From: A potential biocontrol agent Streptomyces tauricus XF for managing wheat stripe rust
Expression of defense-related genes in wheat leaves induced by XF. The first true leaf of wheat was sprayed with fermentation filtrate (FL) and actinomycete cell suspension (AC), and the second true leaves were collected at 12, 18, 24, 36, 42, 48, 72, and 120 hours post-inoculation (hpi) of XF. The horizontal axis in heat maps represents different time points, and each square shows the relative transcript levels of each gene in the AC or FL treatment. The heatmap was row-normalized using the scale method. The higher the gene expression, the hotter (redder) the color. An asterisk indicates significant differences based on the unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test with the P values marked (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01) between treatments and the sterile distilled water (SDW) control, and only significantly up-regulated expressions are marked in the figure
