Map of significantly enriched core functions in different pathogenic lifestyles and their approximate subcellular location. Transporters are located on respective membranes, protease-and carbohydrate-associated functions are located on respective cell walls, and secondary metabolites are at the plant–pathogen interface (if subcellular location is not indicated, function is associated with the cytoplasm). The functions are colored based on their enrichment in a specific (e.g., purple for biotroph) or multiple (e.g., green for all three pathogenic lifestyles) lifestyle cores (see key on figure). Functional categories (Table 1) and their subcategories (Additional file 2: Table S3) are indicated by the following pattern: count functional category (subcategories), e.g., 3 proteases (type: serine, metallo) designating 3 enriched annotations in the Protease functional category, with serine peptidase and metallopeptidase subcategories
