Soybean genes differentially expressed by the B. elkanii T3 effector Bel2-5. (a) Gene ontology classification of the soybean genes up- or down-regulated during interaction with B. elkanii wild-type as compared with bel2-5 deletion mutant. To detect the soybean genes that were up-regulated and down-regulated, RNAseq fold in the roots of En1282 inoculated with USDA61 wild-type were compared to the roots of En1282 inoculated with bel2-5 deletion mutant. The soybean genes with signal intensities ≥ 1.5-fold and ≤ 0.5-fold were considered to be up-regulated and down-regulated, respectively. (b) GO classification on biological process (GO_BP) of soybean DEGs. Several DEGs were annotated into multiple classes of GO_BP. (c) Characteristics of several down-regulated and up-regulated of soybean genes. The bar’s color represents in where gene was annotated in GO_BP. The bar with black color represents gene was annotated into multiple classes of GO_BP. See Supplementary Table 3 and 4 for the details (b,c). Asterisk (*) means representative DEGs were validated with qRT-PCR (Supplementary Fig. 2).
