The Δdot1 mutant was altered in vegetative growth and conidiation. (A) Phenotype of the WT, Δdot1 and dot1C strains after grown on PDA and YES agar plates at 37 °C for 4 days; (B) colony diameter in on PDA and YES cultures of the WT strain and mutants were assayed; (C) Conidiophores was detected by microscope after light induction; (D) The amount of conidia from different strains were determined; (E) Transcriptional levels of conidia transcriptional factors genes in the Δdot1 mutant, WT and dot1C strains. *, ** and *** represent significantly different (p ≤ 0.05, p ≤ 0.01 or p ≤ 0.001, respectively). The experiments were conducted with technical triplicates for each strain, and were repeated three times.
