Conidiophore architecture and relative transcript abundance analysis of ΔMrNsdD mutant.

A. Effect of MrNsdD deletion on conidiophore architecture. For light microscope conidiophore observations, tested strains were grown for 6 days on SMAY solid medium. Scale bar, 20 mm.

B. Relative transcript levels of conidiation‐required genes in the 6‐day incubation period of the ΔMrNsdD mutant relative to the wild‐type (WT) strain. Error bars represent standard error. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with WT strain.
