During the infection stage, all eight RGS genes also showed increased expression levels; however, only the increases in MoRGS1, MoRGS3, and MoRGS7 were significant (MoRGS1 > 12-fold; MoRGS3 > 10-fold; MoRGS3 > 17-fold), in comparison to MoRGS2 (> three-fold), MoRGS4 (> 1.9-fold), MoRGS5 (> two-fold), MoRGS6 (> four-fold), and MoRGS7 (> two-fold) (Table 1). The gene discussed is PITX2; the disease is infection.
