Considering that Phytophthora can secrete effectors to subvert plant immunity and promote pathogen infection (Wang and Wang, 2018), and several transcription factors (TFs) of bZIP, MYB and HSF families are key transcriptional regulators of during Phytophthora cyst germination (Zhang et al., 2012; Ye et al., 2013; Sheng et al., 2015), we also investigated whether these genes were included in the RNA-seq data. This evidence concerns the gene MYB and infection.
