Summary of differential gene expression analyses. A Total number of expressed genes partitioned into Fusarium responsive genes (FRG) equally expressed across resistance groups, FRGs differentially expressed between resistance groups (FR-DEG), constitutively expressed genes (CEG) and CEGs differentially expressed between resistance groups (C-DEG). B Number of FRGs significantly up or downregulated 48 h after Fusarium graminearum inoculation for genotypes of resistance groups Sumai3 (Sumai3), Resistant (R), Moderate Resistant (MR) and Susceptible (SUS), and across all genotypes [Overall Fusarium responsive genes (OFRG)], and in each genotype [General Fusarium Responsive Genes (GFRG)]. C Volcano plots showing the distribution of the gene expression fold changes in each resistance group between Fg and mock treatment. Dots on the left and right sides of horizontal bold line represent downregulated and upregulated genes, respectively. Red dots represent significantly induced genes with |log₂FC| > 1 (indicated by dashed horizontal line) and p-adjust ≤0.05 (indicated by dashed vertical lines).
