Analysis of published transcriptomics data from Zhang et al. (2012) and Wang et al. (2017) indicates that both ACD1 (renamed DCS1) and ACD2 are preferentially expressed during infection as compared to vegetative mycelial growth (5.3-fold and 6.8-fold higher, respectively), while of the ACC synthase genes, only the first candidate ACS1 (FGSG_05184) exhibits increased expression in planta (3.8-fold). This evidence concerns the gene ACSL1 and infection.
