Figure 4. Fertility of the homeobox gene mutants.

Repartition of fruiting bodies in homeobox mutants (top). Eight-centimeter M2 plates were inoculated in the center with mat+/mat− heterokaryotic cultures and incubated for seven days. Perithecia are visible as small black dots. Morphology of fruiting bodies in the Δpah mutants (bottom). Images are from representative fruiting bodies from the plates in the top panel. For Δpah2, arrows indicate perithecia with neck and arrowheads indicate perithecia without neck. WT, wild type.
