Formation assays of appressoria‐like structures on cellophane. (A) Detection of appressoria‐like structures of the conidia in the wild‐type B0510, △Bcatg1 and △Bcatg1‐C after inoculation on cellophane paper for 8 h. Arrows, appressoria‐like structures. Scale bars, 20 μm. (B) Bar chart showing the percentage of appressoria‐like structures of conidia in the wild‐type B0510, △Bcatg1 and △Bcatg1‐C. Error bars represent standard deviations. Values on the bars followed by the same letter are not significantly different at P = 0.05. (C) Onion penetration assays with the wild‐type B0510, △Bcatg1 and △Bcatg1‐C. Infection structures (stained) indicated by arrows and hyphae growing in planta (not stained) were observed clearly. Scale bars, 20 μm.
