From: Three putative DNA methyltransferases of Verticillium dahliae differentially contribute to DNA methylation that is dispensable for growth, development and virulence

Fig. 2

DNMT mutants of Verticillium dahliae do not show altered growth under axenic conditions, stress, or host colinization. a Radial growth of wild-type and mutants over 12 days, with b number of spores produced per mm2 of colony and c pictures showing representative colony morphology after 12 days of growth. d Colony area of wild-type and mutants subjected to various stress agents, relative to average colony area of wild-type (see Additional file 2: Figure S4). e Representative pictures of infected tomato plants at 21 days after inoculation, with f biomass of wild-type and mutants, relative to wild-type infection. Statistically significant differences from wild-type (Wilcoxon signed rank, p < 0.01) are indicated with asterisks. For a, statistical tests were only performed on colony diameter at 12 dpi
