To analyze septation and subcellular localization, fresh conidia and mycelia of the Fon strains were washed with sterile ddH2O2 and co-stained with CFW or Hoechst 33342, respectively [9 (link)]. For apoptotic cell death analysis, the germ tubes of the Fon strains were treated with/without apoptosis-inducing compound farnesol (FOH; Shanghai Aladdin Bio-Chem, Shanghai, China) at 25 or 50 μM for 4 h at 26 °C. Necrotic cells and nuclei were co-stained with propidium iodide (PI; Shanghai Yeasen Biotech, Shanghai, China) and Hoechst 33342 (Shanghai Yeasen Biotech, China), respectively [35 (link),36 (link)]. To examine autophagy, the Fon strains were cultivated in liquid CM for 12 h, and the collected mycelia were rinsed with sterile ddH2O2. After washing, the mycelia were transferred into nitrogen-starved MM medium (MM-N) with/without 4 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 1 h. The mycelia were stained with the fluorescent dye monodansylcadaverine (MDC; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 30 min in the dark, followed by ddH2O2 washing [37 (link),38 (link)]. All aforementioned samples were observed under a Zeiss LSM 780 Meta confocal microscope (Gottingen, Niedersachsen, Germany) with the appropriate excitation and emission filters for corresponding dyes and signals.

To detect DNA damage and the proliferative activity of cell γ-H2AX, Ki67 immunofluorescence staining was performed. Specifically, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and exposed to 0.25% Triton X-100 (Sigma, USA) in PBS solution for 10 min at room temperature. The cells were then blocked with 5% BSA solution for 30 min and incubated with the primary antibody anti-γH2AX or anti-Ki67 (1 : 100, Abcam) overnight at 4°C. After washing the cells with PBS, the cells were further incubated with a fluorescently tagged secondary antibody (1 : 500, Abcam) for 1 h at room temperature in the dark. Subsequently, Hoechst 33342 (20 μg/ml, Yeasen, China) was used to stain the nuclei. Finally, immunofluorescence staining was observed under a fluorescence microscope (Leica DMi8, Germany).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
