Fig. 5From: The Fungi-specific histone Acetyltransferase Rtt109 mediates morphogenesis, Aflatoxin synthesis and pathogenicity in Aspergillus flavus by acetylating H3K9The effect of rtt109 and H3K9 acetylation on conidia and sclerotia production. WT, △rtt109, △rtt109·com, H3-pyrG, H3K9R, H3K9Q, and H3K9A strains were used for (a) the conidia production on PDA solid medium; (b) qRT-PCR analysis of the brlA gene; (c) sclerotia production analysis under dark conditions at 37 °C; (d) statistical analysis; (e) qRT-PCR analysis of the sclR gene.
