Fig. 6From: A novel gene from a secondary metabolism gene cluster is required for microsclerotia formation and virulence in Verticillium dahliaeSilencing of Nag1 reduces fungal pathogenicity. Side and top views of 1-year-old smoke tree seedlings inoculated with 106 spores/mL conidial suspension of WT, Nag1-S3, or Nag1-S6 for 10 min. Smoke tree seedlings mock-inoculated with distilled water were used as controls. Pictures were taken at 45 dpiBack to article page
