Impact of BcHOX8 deletion on the B. cinerea hyphal growth.

<p>(A) Colonies growth kinetics on TNK, PDA and Malt medium for the two parental strains (B05-10/Δku70 (empty circle) and T4/Δku80 (empty square)) and the two respective mutant strains (B05-T_70-1 (filled circle) and T4-T_80-1 (filled square)); 10 cm dishes were used. (B and C) Microscopic observations of the colonies edges (B) and the conidium-derived hyphal growth on hydrophobic surfaces in the parental and mutant strains. A 50 µm scale bar is shown in all pictures.
