Figure 6: MoVrp1 is required for surface hydrophobicity.

From: MoVrp1, a putative verprolin protein, is required for asexual development and infection in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

Figure 6

(A) Colony morphology of Guy11, ∆Movrp1#54, ∆Movrp1#105 and the complemented strain cultured on CM media plate. Drops of ddH2O (upper row) and detergent solutions (lower row) containing 0.02% SDS and 5 mM EDTA were used to determine the surface hydrophobicity. Liquid drops was add to the surface of 7 d hypha for 5 min. (B) Expression analysis of four hydrophobicity-related genes MGG_09134, MGG_10105, MoMPG1 and MoMHP1 in the wildtype Guy11 and the ∆Movrp1 mutant. The experiment was repeated three times with triple replications. Error bars represent standard deviation from the mean, and t test analysis is shown with *p < 0.01 versus the wildtype Guy11.
