Interestingly, based on the heatmap, it appears that transcription of genes relating to cell proliferation, apoptosis and cellular homeostasis (e.g., MAGOH, NFYB, CDC14A, CD3D, DAP) were markedly upregulated in the third stage of infection (7–9 dpi), but the level of upregulation was reduced in the fourth stage of infection (11–21 dpi). The gene discussed is NFYB; the disease is infection.
