smoA and smoB mutations confer hypersensitivity to benomyl. (A) Compared to control (GR5) hyphae, smoA164 and smoB101 hyphae demonstrated a wavy appearance. (B) Growth phenotypes of smoA and smoB mutants on rich medium plus KCl and on rich medium plus KCl and benomyl. Compared to the control strain, smoA and smoB mutants showed a significantly retarded growth with smaller colonies that failed to conidiate. Bar, 50 μm.
