FIG 3.

MoMca1 and MoMca2 are required for full pathogenicity. (A and B) ΔMomca1mca2 strain was reduced in virulence compared to that of the WT when applied to leaves of the susceptible rice variety YT16. ΔMomca1mca2-C refers to the complemented strain. (B) Diseased leaf area was measured using ImageJ. Results are the means from three independent measurements. Error bars denote standard deviations. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences (**, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple-comparison test using GraphPad Prism 8).
