Inactivation of the Catalytic Subunit of cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase A Causes Delayed Appressorium Formation and Reduced Pathogenicity of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

Figure 8

Cellular distribution of lipid droplets in C. gloeosporioides wild type and the Cgpkac1 mutant. (a) The presence of Nile-Red-stained lipid appressoria was observed with a Leica phase contrast microscope (400x magnification). Arrows indicate fluorescent lipid stained with 10 μg of Nile Red. (b) Area index indicating lipid content in appressoria of the wild-type strain and Cgpkac1 mutant was based on analysis using AlphaEaseFC Software.
