Fig. 2From: The bZIP transcription factor PsBZP32 is involved in cyst germination, oxidative stress response, and pathogenicity of Phytophthora sojaeCyst germination was affected in PsBZP32-silenced transformants. a Cyst germination rate at 3 h after encystment. b Microscopic observation of germinated cysts at 10 h after encystment. Representative normally germinated hypha of WT and CK, and abnormally germinated hypha (short with multiple branches) of PsBZP32-silenced transformants are shown. c Abnormal rate of germinated cysts at 10 h after encystment. Bar, 20 μm. *, significant difference compared with the WT (two-tailed t-test, P < 0.01)Back to article page
