Fig. 3 Effects of Momyo2 on conidiation and conidial morphology of M. oryzae.
(A) Comparison of aerial hyphae growth. The indicated strains of M. oryzae were grown in constant dark condition on RDC agar plates for 7 days and then photographed. (B) Momyo2 disruption results in defects of conidiation. Conidia developed on conidiophores were examined by light microscope using strains grown on RDC medium for 7 days. Scale bar = 50 μm. (C) Analysis of conidial production. The numbers of conidia produced by strains grown on RDC medium for 14 days were statistically analyzed (p < 0.01). (D) Comparison of conidia morphology. Conidia of Guy11, Momyo2 mutants and Momyo2c were collected from 14-day-old cultures, and then imaged under light microscope. Bars = 30 μm. (E) The measurement of percentage of abnormal conidia. Conidia of Guy11, Momyo2 mutants and Momyo2c were collected from 14-day-old cultures, and the ratio of aberrant conidia was measured and statistically analyzed, respectively. Asterisks in , indicate significant differences. Error bar represents standard deviation.
