MrUBI4 is required for conidiation and conidial germination. (A) Conidial yields of different strains cultured on PDA plates for 7 and 14 days. (B) Kinetics of conidial germination. Conidial germination rate 8-36 h after inoculation is presented. (C) Relative expression analysis of conidiation-related genes in the 2.5-day-old PDA cultures. (D) Representative images of conidial germination 12 h after inoculation. Arrowhead (white) depicts germinated conidia. Scale: 10 μm. **, p < 0.01. WT: wild-type strain, MT: ∆MrUBI4 strain, Comp: complementary strain.
