Growth rate and asexual reproduction analysis of the PlANK1 mutants. a and b The colony growth rate of the WT, CK, PlANK1 knockout mutant and complementation strains. Photographs were taken at 7 d. The experiment was repeated three times independently, with three technical replications per biological repeat. c Mean sporangia number in 1 μL sporangia suspension. d Mean zoospore release rate. Sporangia were harvested by flooding the mycelia with the same sterile distilled water. e Mean zoospore encyst time. f Mean cyst germination rate. For c to f, the initial concentration of cysts, sporangia, and zoospores was adjusted to be the same for each strain. Data represent means ± SD. All the experiments were repeated three times independently, with three technical replications per biological repeat. Different letters represent significant differences (p < 0.01; Duncan's Multiple Range Test)
