Time-resolved expression of chemotaxis and motility-related genes and the second messenger of cyclic-di-GMP related genes. a Time-resolved heat map of the flagella biosynthesis-related genes in the pathogenicity-activated (P-activated) Xoo and the control Xoo. The expression level of each gene is shown as color change according to the fold change. The separate upper bar indicates the relation between color and the fold change value of gene expression; blue color represents most downregulated genes and yellow color represents the most upregulated genes in the column of comparison. b Time-resolved heat map of chemotaxis-related genes. Representation is the same as that of (a). c Time-resolved expression of hrpG and flagella biosynthesis-related genes from RNA-Seq (left) and qRT-PCR (right). d Time-resolved expression of hrpG and genes of the GGDEF domain-containing proteins from RNA-Seq (left) and qRT-PCR (right). The unit of time is min. Red lines represent the expression levels of genes in the control (untreated) Xoo cells. Y-axis represents fold-change
