Comparative genome analyses reveal sequence features reflecting distinct modes of host-adaptation between dicot and monocot powdery mildew

Table 1 Characterization of host-ranges of four dicot powdery mildew biotypes^a

Biotypes^b	Tomato	Cucumber	Tobacco	Arabidopsis	Sow thistle	Arabidopsis pad4–1/sid2–1
GcC1	–	++++	++	++++	–	++++
GcM1	–	+/−	–	+/−	++++	++++
OnM2	++++	+++	+++	++	–	++++
GcM3	–	–	++++	+	–	++++

^aThe infection phenotypes were assessed visually or with the aid of a microscope. “-”, no or poor germination of conidia without successful penetration; “+/−”, successful penetration but without sporulation; “+”, poor sporulation with HR; “++”, moderate sporulation with no or weak HR; “+++”, good sporulation; “++++”, profuse sporulation
