Relative transcripts of MS development‐related genes after 72‐h incubation in AM culture. Transcription of (A) antioxidation genes and pigment biosynthesis‐related genes, (B) chitin synthase genes and major salts transport and store genes, and other genes were carried out during MS development. Wild‐type and ▵MrMsn2 mutants were incubated for 72 h in AM cultures. Relative transcript abundances of genes were measured by RT–qPCR. Mrtub and Mrtef genes were used as reference. Error bars are standard error. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, significantly different compared with wild type.
