Developmental phenotypes of A. flavus Δgpr mutants^a

^aGPCR mutants were assayed for germination rate at 4 to 9 h postinoculation and for aflatoxin (AF) production on AF-promoting (YES) and AF-repressing (YEP) media. For both assays, shaded squares represent data points that were significantly different from those for the wild type (WT). The color of each box indicates the amount of germinated spores or AF produced as a percentage of WT germination or AF produced. The ratios of spores produced under light and dark conditions (L/D), as well as spores and sclerotia produced by high-density (H) and low-density (L) inocula, were determined, and any data point that did not exhibit the same pattern as the WT is shaded gray. For all four experiments, statistical significance was determined by a Student t test, with P < 0.05. Deletions are shown in the “Strain” column.
