Heatmap of the relative expression level for the DEGs related to phytohormone, scavenging enzymes of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and monolignol biosynthesis pathway in RTx430, SCA-resistant (SC265), and SCA-susceptible (SC1345) sorghum lines. DEGs related to jasmonic acid biosynthesis at A) early time points after aphid infestation at 6, 24 and 48 hpi compared to control (0 hpi), and B) late time point after aphid infestation at day 7 (In; SCA-infested) compared to control (C; SCA-uninfested). DEGS related to ROS scavenging enzymes and monolignol biosynthesis pathway at C) early time points after aphid infestation at 6, 24 and 48 hpi compared to control (0 hpi), and D) late time point after aphid infestation at day 7 (In; SCA-infested) compared to control (C; SCA-uninfested). Color scheme represents the normalized Z-score value. LOX = 13-lipoxygenases, AOS = allene oxide synthase, OPR = 12-oxophyto-dienoate reductase 1, PAL = phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, C4H = cinnamate-4-hydroxylase, C3′H = p-coumaroyl quinate/shikimate 3′-hydroxylase, CCoAOMT1 = Caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase, 4CL = 4-Coumarate:CoA ligase, HCT = p-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase, CCR = cinnamoyl CoA reductase 1, F5H = ferulate 5-hydroxylase 1, COMT = Caffeic acid O-methyltransferase 1, and CAD = Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase. hpi = hours post infestation. Asterisks in the individual cell represents the significant difference as compared to the respective control for adjusted P-value (*** < 0.001, 0.001 < ** < 0.01, 0.01 < * < 0.05)
