Sssfh1 is required for the full virulence of S. sclerotiorum. (A) The Sssfh1-silenced strains show the impaired capacity to invade soybean leaves. Mycelial plugs of the indicated strains were inoculated on soybean leaves and disease symptoms were observed and photographed at 3 dpi. This experiment was repeated three times. (B) Sssfh1-silenced strains caused reduced disease lesions on common bean leaves. Symptoms were photographically documented at 36 hpi from both adaxial (upper panel) and abaxial leaf epidermis (lower panel). (C,D) Quantitative analysis of the lesion sizes in (A,B). Data represent means ± SD from at least three independent experiments (one-way ANOVA, ∗∗indicates significance at p < 0.01).
