Comparison between wild‐type and Δatg8 gall development in maize ears. Maize ears were inoculated with 106 cells/mL. Paired strains are as follows: 1, (1/2 × 2/9); 2, (1/2 × MN8.11); 3, (MN8.1 × 2/9); 4, (MN8.1 × MN8.11). Nine plants were used for each treatment. Note the reduced number of galls and teliospores in ears co‐inoculated with compatible Δatg8 strains (arrow indicates limited teliospores in galled ear). Experiment was repeated twice with similar results.
