Figure 10. Functional characterization of different domains of the MoMSB2 gene.

Figure 10

A. Schematic drawing of different mutant alleles of MoMSB2. The numbers in the bracket indicate the amino acid residues deleted in each allele. B. Appressorium formation assays with transformants D5STR, D3STR, DSTR, DHMH, and DCT that expressed the MoMSB2 Δ5STR-, MoMSB2 Δ3STR-, MoMSB2 ΔSTR-, MoMSB2 ΔHMH-, and MoMSB2 ΔCT-eGFP alleles. Bar = 10 µm. C. Rice leaves inoculated with conidia from the same set of strains. Like the original Momsb2 mutant, transformants DSTR and DHMH were significantly reduced in appressorium formation on hydrophobic surfaces and virulence.
