BcAtg2 is crucial for conidiation in B. cinerea. a Conidia on conidiophores of the wild-type strain B05.10, BcATG2 deletion mutant ΔBcAtg2 and complemented strain BcAtg2-C incubated on sterilized potato fragments at 20 °C under white light for 10 days. b Conidia morphology of each strain. Red arrows indicate abnormal conidia. c Numbers of conidia produced by each strain. Error bars denote standard deviations from three independent experiments, and asterisks indicate statistically significant differences at P = 0.05
