Heatmap of chitinase transcript abundance. Torvum and eggplant (torvum and mel prefix, respectively) transcript abundance as affected by M. incognita infection. The IDs of modulated Torvum genes (DEG) are boxed in black, while eggplant validated genes are boxed in red over the heatmap. Colored bars on the left of the heatmap mark distinct major branches in the clustering tree grouping genes with similar expression pattern. The color scale indicates the transcript abundance value (light blue indicate higher abundance value, darker blue indicates lower abundance values).
