Characterization of sRNA-producing genes.

<p>(A) Number of genes that produce sRNAs depending on <i>F</i>. <i>graminearum</i> strains. (B) Number of genes that produce sRNAs with 5′-U depending on <i>F</i>. <i>graminearum</i> strains. (C) Correlation analyses of transcriptomes of <i>Fgdicer1 Fgdicer2</i> and <i>Fgago1 Fgago2</i> compared to that of the wild type depending on sRNA counts. The log₂ ratio of transcript abundance in <i>Fgdicer1 Fgdicer2</i> versus wild-type (x axis) and <i>Fgago1 Fgago2</i> versus wild-type (y axis) is plotted. Colors indicate the sRNA density (reads per kilobase). (D) Correlation analyses of sRNA counts and transcript abundance. Gene numbers with corresponding log₂ ratio of transcript abundance in <i>Fgdicer1 Fgdicer2</i> or <i>Fgago1 Fgago2</i> versus the wild-type strain Z-3639 were counted. Most genes producing antisense sRNAs more than 1000 counts per kilobase (red graphs) were positively regulated in <i>Fgdicer1 Fgdicer2</i> and <i>Fgago1 Fgago2</i> compared to those in the wild type. Colors indicate the sRNA density denoted in Fig 5C.
