Fig. 6From: MoPer1 is required for growth, conidiogenesis, and pathogenicity in Magnaporthe oryzaepathogenicity assay of the mutant. a Leaf spraying assay. Four milliliters of conidia suspension (5 × 104 spores/ml) of each strain were sprayed on two-week old rice seedlings. Diseased leaves were photographed at 7 day after inoculation. b Lesion density was performed by counting lesion numbers of unit area. c Leaf injecting assay. Conidia suspension (5 × 104 spores/ml) of each strain were injected on two-week old rice seedlings. Diseased leaves were photographed at 5 day after inoculation. d Excised rice sheath from four-week old rice seedlings was inoculated with conidial suspension (5 × 104 spores/ml). Infectious growth was observed 48 h after inoculationBack to article page
