ChSte7 Is Required for Vegetative Growth and Various Plant Infection Processes in Colletotrichum higginsianum

Figure 2

Expression profiles of ChSte7 assayed by qRT-PCR. RNA was extracted from mycelia and conidia, as well as infected Arabidopsis seedlings at different times of inoculation (5, 20, 40, 65, and 90 hpi). β-tubulin gene was used as an internal control. Relative abundance of ChSte7 transcripts during infectious growth was normalized by comparing with vegetative growth in potato dextrose broth (relative transcript level = 1). Three independent biological experiments with three replicates in each treatment were performed.
