Average numbers of pycnidia and pycnidiospores produced in planta by IPO323 and the various mutant strains, assessed at 28 days post-infection (d.p.i.). Three independent knock-out strains were tested for each ΔztabaA, ΔztbrlA1, ΔztbrlA2, ΔztflbB, and ΔztflbC mutant. Bars represent mean SE across 5–10 technical repeats from a single experiment. Bars labeled with an asterisk (*) are knock-out strains with a significant difference in average pycnidia/mm2 compared to IPO323 (p < 0.05). The ΔztbrlA2 strains have significantly reduced numbers of pycnidia/mm2 compared to IPO323, however, there is no consistent significant difference between pycnidia/mm2 produced by the ΔztabaA, ΔztbrlA1, ΔztflbB or ΔztflbC strains and those made by IPO323. The ΔztbrlA2 and ΔztflbC strains have significantly reduced numbers of pycnidiospores/ml compared to IPO323.
