Fig. 1 Hyphal growth and sensitivity to antifungal reagents of the mutant at 25℃ and 35℃. Mycelial discs 5 mm in diameter were cut from 7-d-old fungal culture and placed at the center of a 90-mm Petri dishcontaining CM agar, with and without the antifungal reagents, cultured at 25℃(a) and 35℃(b) for 12 d.

Fig. 2.Germination and septation of the mutant. Freshly harvested conidia (5×104 conidia ml-1) were prepared from 7-day-old rice polish agar cultures, and aliquots (15μl) were applied to the hydrophobic side of a GelBond film (Cambrex Bio-Science, Rockland, ME). The conidial droplets were incubated in apetri dish with wet filter paper at room temperature. The septum of conidial germination were stained with calcofluor white(10 mg·ml-1,Sigma) aftert 1,2,3,4 and 5h postincubation. The septum are marked with an arrow.
