Some of the genes studied presented a similar expression profile under different pathogen infections, such as the induction of isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase and geranyl diphosphate synthase during infection with H. glycines (Ithal et al., 2007), P. sojae (Tyler, 2007), aphids (Studham and Macintosh, 2013) and P. pachyrhizi (Choi et al., 2008); and down-regulation of diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase during P. sojae infection (Zhou et al., 2009). This evidence concerns the gene MVD and infection.
