PsDAMT3 contribute to P. sojae virulence. a Virulence reduced in psdamt3 mutants. psdamt3-T3, psdamt3-T9, and psdamt3-T16 are psdamt3 individual mutants, T34 is the transformed strain but DNA sequence did not change, and WT is P. sojae wild-type strain P6497. The relative Phytophthora biomass of the infection tissues was compared with WT. *Significant differences (P < 0.05, Student’s t test). **Significant differences (P < 0.01, Student’s t test). b In vitro growth rate assay showed psdamt3 mutants have no growth defects. c Total normalized read counts data demonstrated an increase of DNA elements in mutant. d Heatmap analyses of transcriptome changes in psdamt3 compared with wild-type. Gradient color represents the average log₂fold change of genes in each bin
