MoB56 is essential to the pathogenicity of Magnaporthe oryzae. a Pathogenicity test on unwounded barley leaves. One-week-old barley seedlings were inoculated with conidial suspensions of WT, the Δmob56 mutant and its complemented strain cMoB56. Photographs were taken at 5 days post-inoculation (dpi). b Pathogenicity test on wounded rice leaves. Detached rice leaves of four-week-old rice seedlings were inoculated with the mycelia of the indicated strains. Photographs were taken at 5 dpi. c The infection-related development process observation of the indicated strains on hydrophobic coverslips at 8 h post-inoculation (hpi) and on barley epidermal cells at 26 hpi. Bars = 20 μm. d Statistical analysis of each lesion area on barley leaves. Error bars represent ± SD. **, P < 0.01. e Statistical analysis of each lesion area on wounded rice seedling leaves. Error bars represent ± SD. **, P < 0.01. f Statistical analysis of germination rate of the indicated strains on hydrophobic coverslips after 8 hpi. Error bars represent ± SD. **, P < 0.01. g Statistical analysis of appressorium formation rate of the indicated strains on hydrophobic coverslips after 12 hpi. Error bars represent ± SD. **, P < 0.01
