Observation of spore killing phenomenon in F. verticillioides. The mature perithecium was pressed with a slide. The number of asci and ascospores was observed using the microscope. Eight ascospores were observed in most of the asci produced by crossing the LNF15-11 isolate with the SDF16-3, JLF19-23, JLF19-28, JLF19-41, NMGF20-3, LNF20-2, LNF20-3, LNF20-4, SXF20-2, HNF14-18, HNF14-24, HNF14-25, SHF19-37, and SHF19-63 isolates. Only four ascospores in an ascus were observed by crossing the LNF15-11 isolate with SDF18-36, HNF14-8, and GSF19-6 isolates. The asci and ascospores were not observed in the perithecia by crossing the LNF15-11 isolate with the SDF18-28 isolate. Scale bars = 20 µm
