<i>FgLEU2A</i> is involved in conidial formation and germination in <i>F</i>. <i>graminearum</i>.

<p><b>A</b> Comparison of conidiation among PH-1, ΔFgLeu2A-10, ΔFgLeu2B-2, ΔFgLeu2AB-8 and ΔFgLeu2A-8C in MBL amended with or without Leu. Line bars in each column denote standard errors of three repeated experiments. <b>B</b> Conidia of PH-1, ΔFgLeu2A-10, ΔFgLeu2B-2, ΔFgLeu2AB-8 and ΔFgLeu2A-8C harvested from MBL supplemented with 1.25 mM Leu were re-suspended in 2% sucrose solution and cultured at 25°C for 4h and 6h with or without addition of Leu. Germination rate of each strain was calculated and line bars in each column denote standard errors of three repeated experiments.
