Mycelial appearance and spore-bearing aerial hyphae of the <i>M. oryzae</i> strains.

<p>(<b>A</b>) The mycelial appearance of the wild-type strain, Δ<i>cnf1</i> and its complemented strain <i>cnf1-c</i>. Stars indicate non-sporulating hyphae. Bar = 1 cm. (<b>B</b>) Spore-bearing aerial hyphae of the wild-type strain, Δ<i>cnf1</i> and its complemented strain <i>cnf1-c</i> on CM medium. Bar = 20 µm. (<b>C</b>) Conidial development on conidiophores of the <i>M. oryzae</i> strains Δ<i>cnf1</i> and Δ<i>cca1</i>. The conidiophore pictures of the wild-type, mutants (Δ<i>cnf1</i> and Δ<i>cca1</i>), and their complemented strains (<i>cnf1-c</i> and <i>cca1-c</i>) were taken on the strains grown on CM medium on microscope slides for 1 day. Bar = 40 µm.
