Summary of the phenotypes of the Fusarium graminearum peroxidase mutants.
| Developmental processes | Mutants showing defects |
|---|---|
| Vegetative growth* | None (same as wild‐type) |
| Conidiation† | None (same as wild‐type) |
| Sexual development‡ | noxA |
| Oxidative stress response§ | fca6, fca7, fpx1, fpx15 |
| Pathogenicity¶ | noxA, fca7 |
| Trichothecene production** | fca7 |
*Radial growth was measured after 5 days of incubation on complete medium (CM) and minimal medium (MM).
†The conidia were counted after 3 days of incubation in carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) medium.
‡The formation of perithecia was observed 10 days after sexual induction on carrot agar.
§The sensitivity to oxidants (H2O2) was tested.
¶The disease index was measured 21 days after inoculation.
**Trichothecene production in minimal medium containing 5 mm agmatine (MMA) was analysed.
