Scatterplot of the 30 most enriched KEGG pathways of the differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs. The 30 most enriched KEGG pathways at 6, 10, and 14 days post infection (DPI) and at SI (secondary infection, 30 DPI). The y-axis represents the distinct KEGG pathways, and the x-axis represents rich factor. The rich factor refers to the ratio of DE mRNAs annotated in the pathway to the total number of genes annotated in the pathway. The higher the rich factor, the greater the degree of pathway enrichment. The size of the dots corresponds to the number of DE mRNAs, with larger dots denoting a larger number of DE mRNAs. The colours of the dots represent the P-values (P < 0.05) of enrichment
