Comparison of growth of the sclR-overexpressing strain, the sclR-disrupted strain, and the control strain. The OE-sclR strain, the ΔsclR strain, and the Control-1 strain were spot cultured on malt agar medium at 30°C for several days. The colony diameter (a), sclerotial number (b), and conidial number (c) were measured and compared. Each experiment was performed in duplicate.
