The bZIP Transcription Factor MoAP1 Mediates the Oxidative Stress Response and Is Critical for Pathogenicity of the Rice Blast Fungus Magnaporthe oryzae
Figure 1
The effect of MoAP1 on mycelia growth.
(A) Mycelial growth is not altered in the Moap1 deletion mutant. The Moap1 mutants, the wild type strain (Guy11) and complemented strain (Moap1/AP1) were inoculated on CM medium and cultured at 28°C in darkness for 5 days. (B) Aerial hyphae growth is reduced in the Moap1 mutants. Strains were grown under the same conditions as above and colony side views are displayed. (C) Phenotype of mycelia growth in liquid CM medium. The Moap1 mutants, Guy11, and the complemented strains were inoculated in liquid CM medium for 48 hrs at 28°C in darkness and then photographed. (D). Colony pigmentation is compromised in the Moap1 mutants. The testing strains were cultured as described in Figure 1A and photographed.
