Experimental and microarray design for spore germination and appressorium induction. (a) Spores were placed on the hydrophilic (Phil) and hydrophobic (Pho) surfaces of GelBond and incubated for 7 and 12 h. For induction of appressoria by cAMP, spores were placed on the hydrophilic surface of GelBond with (cAMP9) and without (Phil9) cAMP and incubated for 9 h. (b) Diagrams show microarray design. Arrows connect samples directly compared on two channel Agilent M. oryzae oligonucleotide microarrays. Arrow heads = Cy5, arrow tails = Cy3.
