Figure 3

(A) The colony diameter of H. minnesotensis strains that were heat shocked at 37 °C for 2 h. (B) The conidial germination percentage of WT-3608, HD-29 and HOX-28 after being exposing to heat shock at 37 °C and 40 °C for 20 and 40 minutes. (C) The colony morphology of H. minnesotensis WT-3608, HD-29 and HOX-28 at 25 °C after heat shock for 2 h at 37 °C. (D) The relative expression of HIM-SKN7 in WT-3608 at 18 °C, 25 °C and 30 °C. (E) The relative expression of HIM-SKN7 in WT-3608 after heat shock at 37 °C and 40 °C for 20 and 40 minutes along with control. The actin gene was used as an internal control.
