Sexual reproduction analysis of the PlANK1 mutants. a Amount of oospores produced by the WT, CK, and PlANK1 knockout mutant and complementation strains. Different letters represent significant differences (p < 0.01; Duncan's Multiple Range Test). b Amount of normal and aborted oospores produced by the WT, CK, and PlANK1 knockout mutant and complementation strains after 7 d cultured in CA. c Amount of normal and aborted oospores produced by WT, CK, and PlANK1 knockout mutants and complemented strain after 14 d cultured in CA. Data represent means ± SD. The experiment was repeated three times independently, and asterisks denote significant differences between PlANK1 knockout mutants and the WT strain (** p < 0.01). d Morphology of oospores produced in 7- and 14-day-old cultures of the WT, CK, and PlANK1 knockout mutant and complementation strains. The bars indicate 20 µm. e Oospores produced in 7- and 14-day-old cultures of the WT, CK, and PlANK1 knockout mutant and complementation strains treated with tetrazolium bromide (MTT)
