Figure 3.

The majority of studied Zymoseptoria tritici small secreted proteins (SSPs) were highly expressed during necrotrophy. Each section corresponds to the percentage of studied SSPs that are up‐regulated during biotrophy [0–4 days post‐infection (dpi)], the transition phase to necrotrophy (4–8 dpi) and necrotrophy (>8 dpi). Also shown are sections with SSPs particularly important during fructification and sporulation (20 dpi), with a bimodal expression pattern (during biotrophy and necrotrophy), and SSPs that are expressed at low levels throughout the entire infection process.
