a
Diameter of hyphal radii at day 10 after incubation on CM and SDC agar plates at room temperature.
b
Dry weight of hyphal at day 2 after incubation in liquid complete medium at room temperature by shaken at 150 rpm.
c
Number of conidia harvested from a 9 cm SDC plate at day 10 after incubation at room temperature.
d
Percentage of appressorium formation on artificial surface at 24 h post-inoculation at room temperature.
e
Percentage of appressoria penetrated onion epidermal cells at 24 h post-inoculation.
Mean and standard deviations were calculated with results from three replicates.
