The expression patterns of UeKpp2 and UeKpp6 under distinct nitrogen or carbon source treatments. a Mating phenotype of MT and T type strains on a solid culture medium with different nitrogen and carbon sources. Images were taken after 3 days by a stereomicroscope. Bars indicate 1000 µm. Relative expression of UeKpp2 (b) and UeKpp6 (c) in distinct nitrogen sources were analyzed; Also, Relative expression of UeKpp2 (d) and UeKpp6 (e) were analyzed in distinct carbon source treatment. The relative expression in the control medium with sucrose (50 mM) and KNO₃ (20 mM) was taken as one fold relative expression sample. β-Actin was used as an internal control. Data were reported as means ± SD of three repeated samples. All data were subjected to statistical analyses according to the Duncan’s method. The probability values of P < 0.05 were considered as significant and reported with the letter notation
