Pathogenicity assay of wild-type, ΔMospc1, ΔMospc2, ΔMospc3 and ΔMospc7. (A) Disease development after spraying conidial suspension onto rice leaves. Conidial suspension (1×105/ml) was sprayed onto the leaves and diseased leaves were harvested 7 days after inoculation. (B) Disease score measurement was performed on 7-day diseased leaves of all strains, as described by Valent et al., 1991. The data are the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments and all data are statistically analyzed using Tukey test (p<0.05).
