The increase in expression is significant (p<0.05) for all three transcription factors in their respective overexpressors, but during infection only for aTF1. Q-RT-PCR confirmed a significant increase of aTF1 expression in aTF1 overexpressors and during infection, but could not confirm significant differences for cTF1 and SGE1 transcript abundance (S7 Fig). Here, CTF1 is linked to infection.
