Table 2.

The growth rate, conidiation, length of conidia, and virulence of the Fgcsn12 mutant.

Strains	Growth Rate (mm/day) ^a	Conidiation (10⁴/mL) ^b	Length of Conidia (μm)	Disease Index ^c	DON Concentration (μg/g)
PH-1 (wild type)	10.42 ± 0.05 *^A	40.00 ± 2.25 ^A	42.89 ± 0.72 ^A	10.60 ± 0.24 ^A	3692.86 ± 285.63 ^A
M11 (Fgcsn12 mutant)	9.17 ± 0.10 ^B	40.17 ± 1.64 ^A	50.24 ± 0.65 ^B	5.4 ± 0.75 ^B	3664.83 ± 179.56 ^A
CU3 (Fgcsn12/FgCSN12^UTR)	10.56 ± 0.03 ^A	40.50 ± 1.61 ^A	42.81 ± 0.65 ^A	10.20 ± 0.20 ^A	3698.33 ± 161.06 ^A

^a Average daily extension in colony radius on PDA plates. ^b Conidiation in 5-day-old CMC cultures. ^c The number of diseased spikelets on each inoculated wheat head at 14 dpi. * The mean and standard deviation were calculated with results from at least three replicates. The data were analyzed with Duncan’s pairwise comparison. Different uppercase letters indicate significant differences (p = 0.05).
