UvMsn2 is important for vegetative growth and conidiogenesis in Ustilaginoidea virens. a Vegetative growth and colony morphology of the wild-type HWD-2, ΔUvmsn2 mutant and the complemented transformant ΔUvmsn2/UvMSN2 cultured on YT and PDA agar plates, and photographed at 14 dpi at 25 °C in the dark. b Statistical analysis of the colony diameter of the indicated strains. The mean values ± SD were calculated from three independent experiments, and asterisks indicate a statistically significant difference from the wild-type strain (P < 0.01). c Conidial morphology of the indicated strains. Black triangles indicate abnormal conidia. Bar = 10 μm. d Conidial production of the indicated strains. The mean values ± SD were calculated from three independent experiments, and asterisks indicate a statistically significant difference from the wild-type strain (P < 0.01)
