Fusaoctaxin A can restore cell-to-cell invasion in mutants and enhance wild-type virulence in wheat. a Fluorescent microscopic images of wheat coleoptiles infected by the indicated strains. Images are overlay of RFP (fungal RFP and wheat chlorophyll autofluorescence) and GFP (plant cell wall autofluorescence) channels. b Confocal microscopic images of wheat coleoptile cells infected by indicated strains. The lower panel shows aniline blue staining (indicating the plant cell wall component callose) of these cells. H: F. graminearum hyphae. C: chlorophyll. The white arrowheads indicate hyphal penetration of plant cell wall. Scale bar = 20 μm. c Measurements of the penetration ratio and callose staining intensities of wheat coleoptile infection. Data are means ± s.e.m. Different letters indicate a significant difference (P < 0.05) based on one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. (F = 32.13 df = 2, P = 0.0006; F = 58.7 df = 4, P < 0.0001). d Measurements and representative images of lesions on wheat seedling coleoptiles infected by wild-type F. graminearum with or without fusaoctaxin A. Data are mean ± s.d. Asterisks indicate a significant difference compared with FG-WT according to the two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01).
