Fig. 6From: Transcription factor UvMsn2 is important for vegetative growth, conidiogenesis, stress response, mitochondrial morphology and pathogenicity in the rice false smut fungus Ustilaginoidea virensUvMsn2 is important for the maintenance of mitochondrial morphology in Ustilaginoidea virens. a Confocal microscopic observation of mitochondria in hyphae and conidia of HWD-2, ΔUvmsn2 and ΔUvmsn2/UvMSN2 treated or untreated with Mdivi-1 and stained with Mitotracker Red. VH, vegetative hyphae; CO, conidia. b Statistical analysis of the mitochondrial morphology in the indicated strains. The mean values ± SD were calculated from three independent experimentsBack to article page
