IT 50 of M. acridum wild-type strain and Ntl mutants. IT50: inhibition time values for 50% germination of aqueous conidial suspensions exposed to 45°C and dried conidia exposed to 65°C, respectively. 1: wild-type strain; 2-5: over-expression mutants; 6-9: RNAi mutants. Standard error (SE) bars show averages for three independent experiments. Significant differences are designated by the different lowercase letters on the bars of each group in the wet-heat or dried-heat test (p < 0.05).
