Fig. 7: The effect of Ntp1 and its truncation on the pathogenicity of A. flavus in peanut and corn seeds.
From: The role of Npt1 in regulating antifungal protein activity in filamentous fungi
A, B Phenotypic observations of WT, Δntp1285–708, Δntp1417–708, and Δntp1589–708 mutant strains colonizing on peanut and corn seeds. (C, D) Comparison of the spore yields by the strains on infected peanut and corn seeds. E, F Toxin biosynthesis by mutant strains on infected peanut and corn kernels was analyzed by TLC. G, H The optical density of toxin accumulated in infected peanuts in (E) and corn kernels in (F). Data in (C, D, G, H) are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3). Statistical significance was evaluated using one-way ANOVA, with *** indicating P < 0.001. All experiments were performed in triplicate. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
