Functional annotation of genes under selection for local adaptation in the genome of Verticillium dahliae strain VdLs.16. a Gene ontology (GO) annotation of the genes under selection in VdLs.16 genome. Significant GO catalogs of genes under selection pressure in the VdLs.16 population were compared to the whole genome were determined by the Pearson chi-square test (P < 0.05). GO:0016301, kinase activity; GO:0046872, metal ion binding; GO:0035639, purine ribonucleoside triphosphate binding; GO:0005524, ATP binding; GO:0005198, structural molecule activity; GO:0060255, regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; GO:0006508, proteolysis; GO:0030163, protein catabolic process; GO:0010468, regulation of gene expression. b Functional annotation of the genes in VdLs.16 genome under selection with potential roles in pathogenicity. The column designated as “ratio in genome” represents the ratio of genes under selection relative to the total number of encoded genes in the VdLs.16 genome; the other columns represent the percentage of certain annotation type compared to the genes of that type under selection. c Annotation of the genes under selection in the VdLs.16 population
