Nonessential functions of 8 CME sites in sexual reproduction. (A) Sequencing traces for flanking sequences of CME sites amplified from cDNA of 7-dpf perithecia of PH-1 (WT) and underedited (ue) mutants. Red lines and black triangles mark CME sites and mutated sites, respectively. (B) Three-day-old PDA cultures and 8-dpf mating cultures of PH-1 (WT) and the marked underedited (ue) and overedited (oe) mutants were examined for colony morphology, perithecium formation, and asci/ascospores morphology. Bar = 0.5 mm (Middle); Bar = 20 μm (Bottom).
