Comparison of growth rate and conidial production among ChMK1 deletion mutants, complementary strain and wild-type strain.
| Strains | Growth ratea (mm/d) | Condiationb (× 106condia/plate) |
|---|---|---|
| Wild-type | 5.1 ± 0.2A | 24.0 ± 2.0A |
| ΔChMK1-1 | 2.8 ± 0.1B | 6.4 ± 0.7B |
| ΔChMK1-8 | 2.9 ± 0.1B | 5.7 ± 0.6B |
| ChMK1-Com | 5.2 ± 0.2A | 26.5 ± 2.0A |
a
Growth rate was detected by measuring the colony diameter of cultures incubated at 25°C for 7 days.
b
Conidia produced by 15-days-old cultures and counted with haematocytometer. Different letters indicated statistically significant differences (P = 0.05). Means and standard errors were calculated from three replicates.
