3.13 KEGG enrichment analysis of DEGs
KEGG analyses were performed to better understand the molecular associations among the DEGs. Hundreds of transcripts were differentially expressed in different anther stages of wheat attacked by T. laevis and T. controversa . For T. laevis , during 0~150 µm, the top 20 KEGG enrichment pathways were showed, but topmost pathways were protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum and plant pathogen interaction (Figure S5A ). For 150~400 μm, the topmost pathways were plant hormone signal transduction and plant pathogen interaction (FigureS5B ). For 400~700 μm and 700~1100 µm, the topmost pathway was protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum (Figure S5CD ). Similarly, for 1100~1300 µm, the topmost pathways were protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum and starch and sucrose metabolism (Figure S5E ). For T. controversa , during 0~150 µm, the top 20 KEGG enrichment pathways were demonstrated, but topmost pathways were phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, glutathione metabolism, MAPK signaling pathway plant, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum and plant pathogen interaction (FigureS5F ). For 150~400 μm, the topmost pathways were phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, glutathione metabolism and MAPK signaling pathway plant (Figure S5G ). For 400~700 μm, the topmost pathways were phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and glutathione metabolism (Figure S5H ). For 700~1100 µm, the topmost pathways were glutathione metabolism, MAPK signaling pathway plant, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis (Figure S5I ). Similarly, for 1100~1300 µm, the topmost pathways were phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and plant-pathogen interaction (Figure S5J ).
