Fig 1.
Venn diagram depicting unique and common DEGs in response to infection with LsoA or LsoB.
(A) The number of DEGs in response to Lso after an AAP of 2 days; (B) The number of DEGs in response to Lso after an AAP of 7 days; (C) The number of DEGs in response to Lso after 2 days and 7 days. LsoA/Lso- indicates the comparison between LsoA-infected and Lso-uninfected psyllids. LsoB/Lso- indicates the comparison between LsoB-infected and Lso-uninfected psyllids. LsoA/LsoB indicates the comparison between LsoA- and LsoB-infected psyllids. The up arrow indicates up-regulation and the down arrow indicates down-regulation of DEGs.

(A) GO classification of DEGs based on the first objective: The haplotype effect; (B) GO classification of DEGs based on the second objective: The temporal profile (from 2 days to 7 days). The GO annotations are separated into the “Cellular Component”, “Molecular Function”, and “Biological Process” categories.

KEGG pathway analyses of DEGs in response to LsoB.
(A) The top 20 significant enriched pathways based on the first objective: The haplotype effect (for both 2 days and 7 days’ infection); (B) The top 20 significant enriched pathways based on the second objective: The temporal profile (from 2 days to 7 days). Y-axis label represents pathway and X-axis label represents enrichment factor.
