Bx: Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, Gr: Globodera rostochiensis, Hg: Heterodera glycines, Hs: Heterodera schachtii, Mi: Meloidogyne incognita, Mo: Metaseiulus occidentalis, Pp: Physarum polycephalum, and Sc: Sinonovacula constricta. Known effector genes are shown as GenBank Accession numbers followed by gene description. Inf (up) indicated the expression of the gene was detected only in the treatment sample, but not in the control sample. The genes marked in bold were validated by qPCR (Table 2). FC, fold change (treatment versus control).
