FgBzip16 is important for polarity growth and asexual development. a The wild-type strain PH-1, ΔFgbzip16 mutant and complementation strain were cultured on CM and PDA medium at 25℃ for 3 days in the dark. b Hyphal branching of the indicated strains were grown on CM medium for 24 h. Bar = 10 μm. c Conidia of the indicated strains were harvested from CMC medium, stained with calcofluor white, and observed by fluorescence microscope. Bar = 10 μm. d Aerial hyphae of each strain in tubes cultured on potato dextrose agar. e Quantification of aerial hyphae from d in each strain. Line bars in each column denote the standard errors of three repeated experiments. The asterisks indicate a significant difference at P < 0.01
