Table S2. List of 1,617 Trichoderma transcripts whose probe sets afforded a significant difference in expression levels (FDR = 0.23) in microarray experiments in at least one of the culture conditions considered: T. harzianum CECT 2413 grown for 9 hours in MS medium in the presence of tomato plants (MS-P), chitin (MS-Ch), glucose (MS-G), or MS basal medium alone.

Table S3. List of 257 selected Trichoderma transcripts whose probe sets afforded significant up-regulation (fold-change higher that 2.0 and FDR = 0.23) in microarray experiments after hybridization with cDNA from T. harzianum CECT 2413 grown for 9 hours in MS medium in the presence of tomato plants (MS-P) in comparison with the control condition in MS medium alone. Expression values of these probe sets obtained from the fungus grown in chitin- (MS-Ch) and glucose- (MS-G) containing MS media are also shown.

Table S4. List of 85 annotated transcript sequences of Trichoderma spp. whose probe sets showed significant up-regulation (fold-change greater than 2.0 and FDR = 0.23) in microarray experiments after hybridization with cDNA from T. harzianum CECT 2413 grown for 9 hours in interaction with tomato plants in MS medium compared with the control condition in MS medium alone. Biological processes (P), molecular functions (F) and cellular components (C) are based on Gene Ontology (GO) categories inferred from electronic annotation using the Blast2GO suite based on BLAST definitions.
