Figure 9. MoTSC13 is required for full virulence of M. oryzae.

Figure 9

(A) Targeted deletion of MoTSC13 results in reduced pathogenicity on rice CO-39. Lesion density and size was severely reduced in ΔMotsc13 rice infections compared to Guy11. Full pathogenicity of ΔMotsc13 mutants was restored by introduction of MoTSC13:GFP (Compl.). Lesion density represents the lesion number per 5 cm of infected leaf area (n>40). (B) MoTSC13 is necessary for penetration peg formation and invasive hyphae expansion during in planta growth. Scale bar = 10 µm.
