Transcriptome analysis of the Δgul-1 strain on Avicel medium. a Expression levels of genes encoding cell wall proteins in Δgul-1 mutant relative to wild-type (WT) strain on Avicel. b Expression levels of major cellulase genes in Δgul-1 mutant relative to the wild-type (WT) strain on Avicel. c Expression levels from RNA-seq data of genes encoding major secreted proteins from WT and Δgul-1 when grown on Avicel medium. After Δgul-1 and WT conidia were grown on Avicel for 3 days, the transcriptional abundance of major cellulase genes and cell wall protein genes was evaluated by RNA-seq and quantitative real-time PCR. Values represent the means of at least three biological replicates, error bars show standard deviation. Statistical significance was performed using a two-tailed Student’s t test (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001)
