Glycogen granule visualization (a) and percentage (b) in conidia or appressoria of the wild-type and Δpp4c strains. Spores on hydrophobic surfaces were stained with KI + I2 and observed at 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hpi. c Lipid droplets in conidia (0 hpi) or developing appressoria (4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hpi) marked by Cap20-GFP. Scale bar = 20 μm. d Relative triglyceride utilization rates in the wild-type, ΔcreA, Δpp4c, and Δsnf1 strains were calculated as triglyceride content before and after 24 h of starvation in MM-C. Error bars represent SD. Tukey's HSD test was used for significance testing: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.001. n = 3 biologically independent samples.
