Fig. 2From: Autophagy-related protein UvAtg14 contributes to mycelial growth, asexual reproduction, virulence and cell stress response in rice false smut fungus Ustilaginoidea virensSubcellular localization and expression pattern of UvAtg14. a Fluorescent microscope observation of UvAtg14 in mycelia, with mCherry and GFP signals indicating the distribution of UvAtg14 and UvAtg8, respectively. b Expression pattern of UvATG14 during the infection process. The comparative expression level of UvATG14 was determined by qPCR. A house-keeping gene, β-tubulin, was employed as the reference gene. MCM: a mixture of conidia and blended mycelia. dpi, days post-inoculation. Three replicates were performed and values are expressed as mean ± standard deviationBack to article page
