Inactivation of the Catalytic Subunit of cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase A Causes Delayed Appressorium Formation and Reduced Pathogenicity of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides
Figure 10
Pathogenicity assays of C. gloeosporioides wild-type strain and Cgpkac1 mutant on unwounded (a) and wounded (b) mango fruits. A 0.5 mL conidia suspension containing 105 conidia mL−1 was sprayed onto unwounded fruits, while wounded fruits were inoculated with 20 μL of conidial suspension. Untreated fruits were treated with sterile distilled water. Anthracnose symptoms were observed daily for ten days.
