Conolization of ΔMoark1 mutant on plants
(A) Close observation of infectious growth on barley. Excised barley leaves from 7-day-old barley seedlings were inoculated with conidial suspension (1 × 104 spores/ml of each strain). Infectious growth was observed at 24 hpi. (B) Statistics analysis for each type of infectious hypha shape, for each tested strain, 100 infecting hypha (n=100) were counted per replicate, and the experiment repeated three times. (C) Excised rice sheath from 4-week-old rice seedlings was inoculated with conidial suspension (1 × 104 spores/ml of each strain). Infectious growth was observed at 48 hpi.
