Number of upregulated candidate small secretory effector proteins (CSEPs) identified by RNA-seq analyses performed in Leptosphaeria maculans at different stages of disease development during compatible and incompatible interactions. Upregulated genes were identified by comparing in planta samples at different growth stages with axenic cultures. dpi, days post inoculation. Analyses were performed with five biological replicates and a threshold value of FDR < 0.0001 and log₂ fold-change > 1.5.
