Zt107320 deletion affects pycnidia production during a compatible infection of wheat. (a) Pictures of representative leaves infected with the Zymoseptoria tritici wild type (wt), two independent deletion strains (∆Zt107320), two independent complementation strains (∆Zt107320::Zt107320‐eGFP) and mock‐treated leaves. (b) Boxplot depicting the pycnidia density (pycnidia per cm² leaf) pooled from two independent experiments. Number of leaves (n) for each strain is indicated along the top. Statistical significance, inferred through an ANOVA and subsequent post hoc Tukey’s HSD comparing the deletion and complementation strains to the wild type, is indicated as *P < 0.05, **P < 0.005, ***P < 0.0005.
