Sensitivity of ΔVdChs7, ΔVdChs5, and ΔVdChs5Chs7 to cell wall perturbing agents and reactive oxygen species. a Colony morphology of the indicated strains grown on PDA containing H2O2 (2.5 µM), Calcofluor white (150 µg/mL), or Congo red (100 µg/mL). Photographs were taken at 15 days post inoculation (dpi). An aliquot of 10 μL conidial suspension (1 × 106 conidia/mL) was spotted on medium. b Growth inhibition rates of the indicated strains on different growth medium at 15 dpi. Data represent the mean ± standard deviation from three independent biological replicates. ** and *** indicate significant differences at P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively, as calculated with Student’s t-test
