Mycelia growth and wheat head virulence of the MYT1 mutants.
(A) Mycelial growth on complete media (CM) and minimal media (MM) 5 d after inoculation. (B) A center spikelet of each wheat head was injected with 10 µl of conidia suspension. Values with different letters are significantly different (p<0.05) based on Tukey's test. Mock, negative control mock inoculated with 0.01 % Tween 20; WT, G. zeae wild-type strain Z-3639; myt2, MYT2 deletion mutant; MYT2com, myt2-derived strain complemented with MYT2; MYT2OE, transgenic strain that has the EF1α promoter in place of the MYT2 promoter region.
