(A) Deletion of the P131-unique gene P131_scaffold00208-2 resulted in reduced virulence. Rice seedlings were sprayed with conidia of the wild-type strain P131 and P131_scaffold00208-2 deletion mutant KOP208-2. Representative leaves were photographed 7 days after inoculation (dai). (B) Deletion of the P131-unique gene P131_scaffold01777-7 resulted in reduced colony growth. OTA plate cultures of P131 and the P131_scaffold01777-7 deletion mutant KOP1777-5 were photographed after incubation for 5 days. (C) Deletion of the Y34-unique gene Y34_scaffold00875-3 resulted in reduced conidiation. Conidiation was measured after incubation for 4 days.
