Nucleotide diversity at the Avr1b locus among 31 isolates of Phytophthora sojae reveal distinct haplotypes associated with virulence phenotypes. a Variants within the coding region of the Phytophthora sojae Avr1b gene. Yellow box represents the coding region of the gene and gray bars, 5′ and 3′ UTR. Asterisks (*) indicate approximate positions of the SNPs and small indels. Those variants are representative of a cluster of variants defining a haplotype. b Schematic graph of the position of the SNPs for each isolate, grouped by haplotypes. Variants in gray background are different from the reference genome (isolate P6497). c Phenotypic response of the reference genome strain (P6497) and the outliers (when the phenotype did not match the genotype based on the hypocotyl test) from the hydroponic assay. Responses showed here are representative of all isolates tested. All phenotypic responses of other tested isolates can be found in Additional file 3
