Participation of phytohormones in the response to Asian soybean rust. Hormone pathway scores indicating induction and suppression of signaling for the hormones abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene (ET), jasmonic acid (JA), and salicylic acid (SA) are shown for datasets corresponding to the susceptible (Susc) and the resistance response (Res) at 24 and 168 hours post-infection. The genetic differences (Gen) between susceptible and resistant plants were also analyzed. A three-color scale was used to highlight the scores: blue for negative (suppression), white for no change, and yellow for positive (induction).
