Photographs of traps, infecting hyphae, and electron-dense (ED) bodies.

Caption

Comparison of trap formation and nematocidal activity of the wild-type (WT) and mutant strains. A, Trap formation induced with nematodes for 48 h post-induction (hpi). B, Observation of infecting hyphae at 48 hpi. H indicates infecting hyphae. C, The number of nematode-infesting hyphae. D, Traps produced at 24 and 48 hpi. E, Percentages of nematodes captured by WT and mutant strains at 12, 24, 36, and 48 hpi. F, Trap morphology of WT, ΔAopkc, and ΔAoswi6 strains. Arrows indicate ED bodies in trap cells. The data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 vs. WT. Photo and data analysis: Meihua Xie.
