Flowchart of the methods. The scheme includes three steps. Firstly, differentially expressed mRNAs in drug-treated M. oryzae compared with the control group were identified via microarray analysis. Then, bioinformatics analysis, including GO and KEGG pathway enrichment, inverse docking and WGCNA network, were performed for speculating the correlation between potential targets and DEGs. Subsequently, we utilized qRT-PCR and Western blot to validate the microarray results
