Disruption of gpaB leads to a significant reduction in seed infection. (A) Pathogenicity test of gpaB mutant on maize kernels; (B) Conidia production of gpaB mutant on maize kernels; (C) Detection of AF production of gpaB mutant on maize kernels by TLC. Error bars represent the standard deviation from three replicates, and triple asterisks “***” represent significant differences compared to the wildtype according to the t-test with p < 0.001. Stnd represents the AFB1 standard. The experiments were conducted with three replicates for the indicated strain and were repeated three times.
