Fig. 6From: Involvement of a dihydrodipicolinate synthase gene (FaDHDPS1) in fungal development, pathogenesis and stress responses in Fusarium asiaticumVirulence of the FaDHDPS1 deletion mutant. (a) Wheat germs were incubated with conidial suspensions of 2021, ΔFaDHDPS1 and ΔFaDHDPS1-C and examined after 10 days post incubation (dpi). (b) The lengths of diseased lesions of wheat germs were measures 10 dpi. (c) Flowering wheat heads were incubated with the conidia of each strain and photographed at 15 dpi. (d) Percentage of diseased spikes on inoculated wheat heads. Values are the means ± standard error (SE) of three repeated experimentsBack to article page
