The A. alternata major facilitator superfamily transporter (AaMFS54) is a virulence determinant. (A) Conidial suspensions (104 conidia per ml) prepared from WT and Δmfs54 strains were inoculated by dropping 5 μl on detached calamondin leaves (n = 8). The diameter of lesions was measured 2 days post inoculation (dpi). Means followed by the same letters were not significantly different according to student t-test (P ≤ 0.05). (B) Formation of necrotic lesions (2 dpi) and fungal colonies and fluffy hyphae on necrotic lesions (4 dpi). (C) Development of necrotic lesions on detached calamondin leaves inoculated by spraying with conidial suspensions 2 dpi. The mock controls were treated with water only. The leaves were maintained in a moisture chamber for lesion development. Only representatives are shown.
