Fig 2. Mitosis is misregulated in Type I-III Δabl1 mutant strain morphotypes.
(A) Spores of WT H1: RFP and Δabl1 H1: RFP strains were inoculated at a rate of 1×105 conidia/ml onto artificial hydrophobic surfaces and imaged by a Nikon A1 confocal fluorescence microscope at 24 hpi. (B) The number of nuclei carried by germinating WT H1:RFP and Δabl1 H1:RFP spores at the indicated time points during appressoria formation at 22°C. Mean values were calculated from three independent replicates by counting the nuclei from 100 spores per time point per strain for each replicate. Error bars are standard deviation. (A,B) All assays were performed at 22°C.
