CgMK1 is essential for appressorium formation. (A) The conidial suspension from WT, ΔCgMK1 mutants, and the ΔCgMK1/CgMK1 strains were cultured on the hydrophobic surface of the GelBond membrane at 25°C and were observed at 12 h. A: appressorium; C: conidium; GT: germ tube. Scale bar: 10 μm. (B) Bar chart showing the appressoria formation rate percentage on the GelBond membrane. The value represents the mean of the three tests. Error bars represent the standard deviations based on three independent replicates with three technical replicates each. The data were performed by using the Duncan’s range test. Asterisks mean statistically significant differences at P = 0.05.
