Comparison between the gene expression networks in inoculated resistant and susceptible groups of willow genotypes. A Sankey plot of the modules from the resistant network on the left and the susceptible network on the right. Colors represent modules of co-expressed genes. Each connection is significant at the 0.05 level. B and C Numbers of genes in each group are indicated in the legends above each graph. (RH – Resistant Hub Gene; RM – Resistant Module Gene; SM – Susceptible Module Gene; SH – Susceptible Hub Gene; HPI – Hours Post Inoculation). B Mean expression, standard errors, and Fisher’s least significant difference (LSD) group for the ‘R-turquoise’ module compared to the ‘S-turquoise’ and ‘S-salmon’ modules. C Mean expression, standard errors, and Fisher’s LSD group for the ‘R-blue’ modules compared to the ‘S-brown’ and ‘S-red’ modules
