Fig. 2From: Investigation on the differentiation of two Ustilago esculenta strains - implications of a relationship with the host phenotypes appearing in the fieldsThe characteristics of MT and T strains on growth and morphology. a The teliospore germination rate of MT and T strains on YEPS solid medium. b The growth rate of MT and T haploid strains. c Cell population growth curve of MT and T haploid strains. Cells were counted via colony counts. d and e The micro-morphology and length of haploid strains (UeT14, UeT55, UeMT10, UeMT46 and UmFB1). Microscopic images were taken on a light microscope. Bars indicated 50 μm. The insets images in e represent the typical phenotypes of muti-buddingBack to article page
