^aAssociated genes to each Avr gene were selected with the P value ≤0.05 of output files using the GAPIT program
^bSignal peptides were detected from associated genes using SignalP 5.0 program
^cProteins of associated genes with signal peptides and without transmembrane helices were considered as SP genes
^dAssociated genes to Avr genes with the P value ≤0.001 were considered as highly associated genes. Highly associated genes include 14 Non-SP genes and 3 SP genes
^eOne gene can be associated with multiple Avr genes, so the total number of genes is not equal to the summation of associated genes from each Avr gene
