Transcription factors regulating appressorium differentiation and maturation in M. oryzae. a Functions of transcription factors during appressorium formation. The time points at which transcription factors (Tra1, Sfl1, Hox7, Vrf1, and Mst12) work and the phenotypes of their mutants. Spores are inoculated to germinate on hydrophilic surfaces or hydrophobic plastic coverslips surfaces at 25 °C. The yellow ring or spots in an appressorium is a septin ring. One red asterisk (*) indicates first cAMP-PKA signaling activation; two red asterisks (**) indicate second cAMP-PKA signaling activation. b Genes regulated by Hox7 and Vrf1 during appressorium maturation
