Cfhos2 is a key virulence factor. a Apple leaves spray-inoculated with conidial suspensions (1 × 107 conidia/mL) at 5 days post-inoculation (dpi). b An apple leaf drop-inoculated with conidial suspensions at 5 dpi. 1 to 4 represent WT (1104-6), ΔCfhos2 (Δhos2-4, Δhos2-5), and the complementation strain (hos2-4-3), respectively. c Apple fruits spray-inoculated with conidial suspensions at 6 dpi. d A leaf wound-inoculated with mycelial plugs at 5 dpi, with the same inoculation order as in b. e A pear fruit wound-inoculated with mycelial plugs at 6 dpi, with the same inoculation order as in b. f Quantification of lesion size on wound-inoculated pear fruit at different time points. Multiple comparison following ANOVA analysis was performed, error bar indicates standard deviation (n = 3), and different letters represent different groups based on Tukey’s HSD test (adjusted P < 0.05)
