Figure 1.

Sequence polymorphisms of core VdLysM effector genes in Verticillium dahliae population. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were compared among 20 V. dahliae strains. The protein models are based on the annotation of VdLysMs in V. dahliae strain JR2. Three core LysM effectors have four to six predicted LysM domains, which are represented by grey squares (amino acid positions are indicated with white font). The N‐terminal black box represents the predicted signal peptide. Sites with synonymous and non‐synonymous nucleotide substitutions are marked by red lines and red dots, respectively. The number above or below the SNP sites indicates the amount of strains that share the same nucleotide polymorphism at that position (detailed information on each individual SNP can be found in Fig. S2).
