The lox3–4 mutant permits greater colonization, conidiation and AF production by A. flavus than the WT in kernel assays. (A) Comparison of visible colonization by A. flavus NRRL 3357-infected kernels. WT, A. flavus-infected wild type kernels; lox3–4, A. flavus-infected lox3–4 kernels. The pictures were taken at seven days post inoculation (dpi). Results were similar for kernels infected with A. flavus 12S (data not shown). (B) Conidiation by A. flavus NRRL 3357 following infection of lox3–4 mutant and WT maize kernels. Similar results were obtained when kernels were infected with A. flavus 12S (data not shown). (C) AF production by A. flavus NRRL 3357 on lox3–4 mutant and WT maize kernels. Error bars denote one standard error. Different letters above bars denote significantly different means (P < 0.05, ANOVA) between WT and mutant within same time point. dpi, days post infection.
