Gene expression of A. euteiches at different life stages and during M. truncatula infection. a The percentage of up- and downregulated genes in zoospores, infected roots 3 days post infection (dpi), and infected roots 9 dpi compared to mycelium grown in vitro for all expressed genes and different subsets of expressed genes. (All all genes, SP genes with a predicted signal peptide, Proteases secreted proteases, Protease inhib. secreted protease inhibitors, GH secreted glycoside hydrolases, CEs secreted carbohydrate esterases, PLs secreted polysaccharide lyases, CBMonly secreted carbohydrate-binding module containing genes without a catalytic domain, CRN, Crinklers and Crinkler-like). b–d Heatmaps of the log2 reads per kilobase per million (RPKM) values of the glycoside hydrolases (b), proteases (c), and polysaccharide lyases (d) with a predicted signal peptide. Colors on the left of the heatmaps indicate the subgroup that the GH, protease, or PL belongs to and, if present, the group of carbohydrate-binding module present in the gene. Colors on the right indicate if the genes are significantly up- (red) or down- (blue) regulated in zoospores, infected roots 3 dpi, and infected roots 9 dpi compared to expression in mycelium grown in vitro. The red dots indicate GH groups with predicted cellulose activity
