Fig. 3From: The bZIP transcription factor UvbZIP6 mediates fungal growth, stress response, and false smut formation in Ustilaginoidea virensKnockout of UvbZIP6 enhances the vegetative growth of U. virens. a Colony morphology of U. virens strains on PSA, PDA, and YTD. The WT, UvbZIP6-knockout mutants, and complemented strains were incubated on the medium at 27 °C for 14 days. b Colony diameter of U. virens strains on different media. c Mycelia dry weight of the tested strains. The mycelia were collected and dried after incubation in PSB at 27 °C for 7 days. The error bars represent the standard deviation, and asterisks represent a significant difference (P < 0.05)Back to article page
