a
All strains carry the veA1 mutation except for FGSC4.
b
FGSC, Fungal Genetics Stock Center.
c
TJAP1, -2, and -3 are isogenic and were examined for radial growth rates, dry weights, and sporulation levels. TJAP3 was used in Northern blot and ST analyses.
d
TJAPF8, -36, -38, and -73 are isogenic.
e
Other ΔfadA ΔflbA strains were also crossed with ΔphnA strains.
f
RJAG19.6, -19.8, and -19.9 are isogenic and were used in ST analysis.
g
Both strains were used in ST analysis.
