Figure 8. Germination rate of conidia.

Figure 8

One ml of conidium suspension of each strain was incubated in 10 ml of complete medium (CM) at 25°C on a rotary shaker (150 rpm). One hundred spores were observed in each examination with light microscopy, and the number of conidia that germinated was counted. All data were obtained from three biological replicates. Asterisks indicate data that significantly differed (p<0.05) based on Tukey's test. WT, F. graminearum wild-type strain Z-3639; AbaA-OE, a transgenic strain with the abaA promoter replaced with the ef1α promoter.
