Mrsvp disruption affects the fungal virulence in insect hemolymph. a The appressorium formation rate at 36 h after treatment. b Appressorium development was observed by microscopic examination after treatment. App, appressorium; Co, conidium. c Expression analysis of the virulence-related genes in the haemocoel. The relative expression levels of the gal gene were employed to quantify the transcripts of GAL in the strains WT, ΔMrSVP, and ΔMrSVP/MrSVP. mRNA transcripts were quantified at 48 h after injection by real-time RT-PCR
