Fgp1 is involved in conidiogenesis as well as in ascospore formation.

<p>A) Macroconidia production was assessed in three experiments each in two replicas on mung bean agar (MBA) plates and counted in a haemocytometer. B) Average macroconidium length was determined by measuring 30 macroconidia of each strain. C) Photos of a representative wild type PH-1 macroconidium (left), three representative conidia formed by the <i>FGP1</i> deletion mutant (middle) and a representative <i>FGP1</i> complementation strain macroconidium (right). D) Ascospore production by wild type PH-1, two <i>FGP1</i> deletion mutants and two <i>FGP1</i> complementation strains was assessed in four replicas for each strain on carrot agar plates two weeks after the mycelium was knocked down using a 2.5% Tween-60 solution. Ascospores were counted with a haemocytometer.
