Fig 7. Lipid utilization and pathogenicity test of the single, double and triple mutants of MoPEX11 genes.
The strains were cultured on minimal medium with 1% Tween 80 as sole carbon source at 28°C for 5 d (A) and the colonial diameters were statistically compared (B). (C) Conidial suspension (1×105 conidia/ml) of the strains were sprayed on 2-week-old rice cultivar CO39 and recorded at 7 dpi. (D) The numbers of lesions on 5-mm length leaf were counted and statistically analyzed. Different letters indicate significant differences between groups (p < 0.05).
