    FIG 1 

    Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis for the accessory chromosomes of Z. tritici. Pictures of three pulsed-field gel electrophoresis gels for all strains used in this study are shown. Size marker, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. White arrows indicate missing chromosome bands. Absence of chromosome 14 is observed for strains Zt260, Zt295, and Zt273. Absence of chromosome 15 is observed for strains Zt291, Zt248, and Zt294; absence of chromosome 16 or 17 or 18 can be inferred for strains Zt251, Zt270, Zt271, Zt299, Zt265, Zt262, Zt272, and Zt290. Absence of chromosome 19 is observed for strain Zt278; absence of chromosome 20 is observed for strains Zt266 and Zt279; and absence of chromosome 21 is observed for strains Zt267, Zt269, and Zt293.

    FIG 2 

    Genome-wide map of Illumina read coverage of the IPO323 progenitor strain and the aneuploid strains. The absence of reads mapped to the deleted accessory chromosomes confirms chromosome loss in the respective strains. Increased coverage of chromosome 14 in strain Zt262 indicates chromosome duplication, while the lower coverage of chromosome 14 in strain Zt266, on the other hand, suggests a mix of cells with and without this chromosome.

    FIG 3 

    Pycnidia density of the IPO323 progenitor and the aneuploid strains produced at 21 dpi in different wheat cultivars. Box plots are shown for pycnidia density data from wheat cultivars (cv) (A) Obelisk, (B) Runal, (C) Titlis, and (D) Riband. Statistical significance, inferred through an ANOVA and a subsequent post hoc Tukey’s HSD test comparing the aneuploid strains to the IPO323 reference, is indicated as follows: *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.005; ***, P < 0.0005. Data shown are based on results from (A) three, (B and D) four, or (D) two independent experiments.

    Timing of the switch to necrotrophy of the IPO323 progenitor and the aneuploid strains. (A to C) Boxplots depicting the day postinfection at which the first necrotic symptoms appeared on the leaf surface for cultivars (A) Obelisk, (B) Runal, and (C) Titlis. Data used in the analyses were pooled from results from 3 independent experiments. Statistical significance, inferred through an ANOVA and subsequent post hoc Tukey’s HSD test comparing the aneuploid strains to the IPO323 reference, is indicated as follows: *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.005; ***, P < 0.0005.

    FIG 5 

    The timing of switch to necrotrophy influences the number of pycnidia produced. (A to C) Boxplots of the pycnidia density on leaves at 21 dpi grouped according to the day (postinfection) when the first necrotic symptoms appeared on the respective leaf for cultivars (A) Obelisk, (B) Runal, and (C) Titlis. Data for all tested Z. tritici strains were pooled for each of the cultivars. The shapes of the curves as tested by the interaction of the factor cultivar and the switch to necrotrophy proved significantly different for the pairwise comparisons of Obelisk and Titlis (P = 7.0 × 10−6).
