Colony morphology and conidia formation of the Δmogsk1 mutant. (A) Colonies of Ku80, Δmogsk1 and Δmogsk3/MoGSK1 grown on complete medium (CM) at 26 °C. Photos were taken at 7 days after inoculation. (B) Comparison of conidia formation under light microscope between Ku80, Δmogsk1 and Δmogsk1/MoGSK1 after 48 hours induction at 26 °C on glass slides Bar = 50 μm. (C) Microscopic observation of aerial structures stained by lactophenol aniline blue. Aerial hyphae were stained blue, while conidiophore stalk remained grey. Bar = 10 μm.
