Table S7 shows that S. sclerotiorum dicers 1 and 2 as well as argonaute 2 are not differentially expressed. Argonaute 4 shows slightly increased expression and RdRp genes SAD1 and RRP3 show down regulation. However, confirmation by RT-qPCR reveals that these down regulations are very slight or non-significant. SlaGemV−1 infection may not induce a modulation of host RNAi systems similar to what is seen during SsHADV-1 infection [11]. This evidence concerns the gene AGO4 and infection.
