Expression patterns of apoplastic proteins during C. fructicola infection. a Expression patterns of significantly differentially expressed apoplastic proteins at 12 hpi, 24 hpi, and 48 hpi. According to their functions, they were classified into five categories: glycosidases, proteases, esterases, oxidoreductases, and other proteins. b The heatmap illustrates the expression patterns of all apoplastic hydrolases after C. fructicola-inoculation. Red (positive log2-transformed fold change) represents significantly upregulated genes, while blue (negative log2-transformed fold change) represents significantly downregulated genes. The gradient of green color indicates the significance of the adjusted P-value (adj.pval). When the adjusted P-value is less than 0.05, it is considered to be statistically significant. c Annotation and data presentation of representative genes
