(E–H) represents magnification of the inner box of panels A–D, respectively. Trypan blue staining of mock-treated leaves (I) and leaves inoculated with F. sporotrichioides (J–L). (M, N) Cross-sections of Trypan blue staining of leaves inoculated with F. sporotrichioides. Arrowheads show the hyphae.
