Conidiation and conidium morphology of ΔCsste50. Conidia were harvested from 5-day-old V8 agar under continuous light. (A) Evaluation of conidiation. Conidiation relative to that of the wild-type (arbitrarily setb to 1) was determined. (B) Visualization of conidium morphology. Photographs were taken and conidium length was measured using a ZEN imaging software. Asterisks indicate significant differences between the wild-type and mutant at P < 0.05 according to Tukey’s test. Scale bars = 10 μm.
