A. Average daily extension in colony radius was measured on CM plates. Mean and standard deviation were calculated from at least three independent measurements
B. Conidiation in 5-day-old CMC cultures
C. Disease index was rated by the number of symptomatic spikelets per wheat head at 14 days post-inoculation (dpi)
Data were analyzed with Duncan’s pairwise comparison. Different letters mark statistically significant differences (P = 0.05)
NA. not analyzed
