Vegetative growth and sexual development of F. graminearum strains. (a) The mycelial growth of F. graminearum strains on complete medium (CM), CM supplemented with 10 mM hydroxyurea (HU), 10 mU/ml bleomycin (BLM), and minimal medium (MM). The strains were imaged 5 days after inoculation. (b) Sexual development. A five-day-old culture on carrot agar medium was mock-fertilized to induce sexual reproduction, and the cultures were incubated for an additional 7 days. Scale bar = 500 µm.
