Comparison of differentially expressed Phytophthora sojae CSEPs over time. Tables include normalized mean of the most differentially expressed CSEPs genes compared to axenic cultures specific to P. sojae at (a) 4 dpi, (b) 7 dpi and (c) 14 dpi (Fold-change ≥ 4, FDR p-value ≤ 0.01). Hierarchical cluster analysis at (a) 4 dpi, (b) 7 dpi and (c) 14 dpi shows a systematically higher level of expression in Si-soybean plants than in Si+ plants. Each graph shows the average relative (%) cluster expression at each timepoint based on the highest level of expression for each gene as a measure to showcase the trend in expression dynamics. Bars represent standard error from the mean (n = 5)
