a
Conidiation was measured by counting the number of conidia produced after a 3-d incubation in CMC.
b
Macroconidia were produced on YMA. A total of 100 macroconidia were observed for each examination.
c
Ascospores were collected from culture plate lids 10 d after sexual induction. A total of 300 ascospores were observed for each examination.
d
All experiments were repeated three times with three replicates each. Values within a column with different letters are significantly different (p<0.01) based on Tukey's test.
