Transcriptional responses in developing lesions of European common ash (Fraxinus excelsior) reveal genes responding to infection by Hymenoscyphus fraxineus

Table 3 Differentially expressed genes between trees in the resistant (R) and susceptible (S) categories in proximal symptomatic and distal non-symptomatic bark of common ash after infection with H. fraxineus nf4 in the common garden experiment

Comparison	More highly expressed in R		More highly expressed in S		Total^c
Comparison	DEG^a	de novo^b	DEG^a	de novo^b	Total^c
R (Non-symptomatic)/ S (Non-symptomatic)	329	165	753	93	1082
R (symptomatic)/ S (symptomatic)	76	73	62	51	138

^athe total number of DEGs which is more highly expressed in a given genotype category, this number includes the de novo expressed transcripts
^bthe number of the DEGs which is de novo expressed, unique, transcripts
^cThe total number of DEGs in the comparison
