PsBZP32 is a conserved bZIP transcription factor with an additional PAS domain. a Phylogenetic analysis of PsBZP32 and its homologues in oomycetes. Full-length amino acid sequences were used to generate the phylogenetic neighbor-joining tree in MEGA 6.0. b Protein sequence alignment of PsBZP32 and its homologs in Phytophthora ramorum, Peronospora tabacina, Pythium ultimum, and Saprolegnia parasitica. c Transcription pattern of PsBZP32 according to RT-qPCR. MY, SP, ZO, CY, and GC represent the asexual life stages of P. sojae: vegetative mycelia, sporangia, zoospores, cysts, and germinated cysts, respectively. IF1.5, IF3, IF6, IF12, and IF24 represent the infection stages of P. sojae: 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h post-infection (hpi), respectively. Relative transcription levels were calculated using the MY values as a reference. d Relative transcription levels of PsBZP32 in PsBZP32-silenced transformants and control strains. WT, wild-type strain; CK, control strain transformed with empty vector. *, significant difference compared with the WT (two-tailed t-test, P < 0.01)
