Fig. 1. Alignment of whole genome sequences of Plasmodiophora brassicae. (A) Alignment of five isolates: the dotted rectangles in Yeoncheon and ZL1 indicate the regions where isolate-specific markers were targeted. (B) Identified Yeoncheon- and ZJ1-specific markers regions are highlighted by black arrows.
