Virulence assay on chestnut stems. (A) Cankers induced by the tested strains. The wild-type (EP155), starting (DK80), and hypovirus-infected (DK80/CHV1-EP713) strains and cpatg8-deleted (Δcpatg8) and cpatg8-complemented (Δcpatg8-com) mutants were inoculated onto Chinese chestnut (C. mollissima Blume) stems. The inoculated stems were kept at 24°C and cankers were measured and photographed on day 28 postinoculation. (B) Canker size measurements of the tested strains. The assays were with five duplicates for each strain. Values are means ± SEM of three independent experiments. ** indicates P < 0.01, determined by Student's t-test.
