aMolecular weight of mature proteins without the signal peptides. bD-scores are the effective discrimination scores from SignalP4.0. Higher D-scores indicate greater probability of the candidate proteins as Sec-secreted proteins. cRelative gene expression levels are presented as fold changes (log 2 ratio) in citrus vs. in psyllids. dHomologous proteins identified by BlastP in the currently available CLas genome sequences as well as CLso, which is the closely related Ca.
