Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals a Preformed Defense System in Apple Root of a Resistant Genotype of G.935 in the Absence of Pathogen

Figure 3

Classification for identified DEGs encoding resistance proteins. An overall similarity for the subcategories of R protein encoding genes which are with higher expression level in either B.9 or G.935 was observed. However, three times more DEGs were identified from G.935 as compared to that from B.9. A few subcategories R protein encoding genes were unique in each cultivar such as R protein SNC1 from G.935 and R protein At4g19050 from B.9.
