Extended Data Fig. 3: SPS1 deletion affects appressorial cell wall shape and thickness and mucilage production.

From: Spermine-mediated tight sealing of the Magnaporthe oryzae appressorial pore–rice leaf surface interface

Extended Data Fig. 3

a, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of Δsps1 and WT appressoria on plastic coverslips. Scale bar is 400 nm. b, Measurements of appressorial cell wall thickness after TEM. Values are the mean ± standard deviation of measurements from appressoria (n=144 for WT and n=174 for Δsps1) . Significant differences of means comparing WT and Δsps1 at the given treatment are denoted by different letters (unpaired two-tailed t-test, t = 2.580 df = 316, p = 0.0103). c, TEM of Δsps1 and WT appressoria on plastic coverslips at 24 h.p.i. showing examples of extracellular secretions, likely mucilage, that are sparser in Δsps1 than WT samples. Scale bar is 600 nm.
