FpCzf14 contributes to F. pseudograminearum virulence. a Wheat coleoptiles inoculated with mycelial blocks of WT, Δfpczf14 and Δfpczf14-C. b Lesion lengths measured at 3 dpi on five wheat seedlings in each of three independent experiments. The bars indicate the standard deviations (**P < 0.01, t-test). c Barley leaves inoculated with mycelial blocks of WT, Δfpczf14 and Δfpczf14-C. d Wheat seedlings inoculated with millet seeds colonized by WT, Δfpczf14 and Δfpczf14-C. e DSI of wheat seedlings from the pot-culture experiment. The data shown are representative of three separate experiments. The bars indicate standard deviations (**P < 0.01, t-test). f Microscopic observation of infectious mycelia in wheat coleoptiles at 24 hpi
