It suggests that UvHOX2 can also be involved in responses to oxidative, osmotic, and cell wall stresses.Subcellular Location and Expression Patterns of UvHOXThe UvHOX2-eGFP construct was transformed into wild-type strain P-1. The mutant HOX-GFP-2 was picked from a batch of transformants for its powerful signal from the over-expressed eGFP fusion protein. The eGFP signal within the HOX-GFP-2 FE-202845 web mycelia situated inside the nuclei (Figure 7A). 4 ,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) was applied to dye the mycelia and show the place on the nuclei inside the cells. The expression levels of UvHox2 at the stages of mycelium growth, conidium generation, and chlamydospore formation have been determined by qRT-PCR. The outcomes showed that the expression of UvHox2 was the highest through the early stage of chlamydospore formation and decreased at the later stage of chlamydospore formation. Meanwhile, the expression of UvHox2 was also high in the sporulating stage along with the early stage of infection on rice. In contrast, the expression of UvHox2 was low throughout vegetative development (Figure 7B).pCas9-tRPDThis studypCas9-tRPDI pCas9-tRPDII Pcccd pCccd-dT pCccd-dTN3 pdTN3-HX2-Cas9I pdTN3-HX2-Cas9IIThis study This study This study This study This study This study This studyThe Worldwide Transcription Pattern of UvHox2 Deletion Mutant Differs From That of the Wild Form at the Early Stage of Chlamydospore DevelopmentTo determine putative regulated targets on the homeobox TF UvHOX2 throughout the formation on the chlamydospore generation structure, we compared the global gene transcription patterns in the UvHox2 deletion mutant DHOX-61 with that within the wild-type strain P-1 by RNA-seq evaluation. We inoculate P-1 (WTC) and DHOX-61 (DH) on rice as described above and collected rice false balls af.
