Infection Process of Sphaerotheca fuliginea on Host Cucumber and on host Wheat Leaves

The infection process of Sphaerotheca fuliginea into epidermal cells of host cucumber and nonhost wheat were studied histochemically. The percentages of germinated conidia had no significant difference on cucumber and wheat leaves at the pre-penetration stage. When S. fuliginea overcame the constitutive barriers of wheat leaf, papillae and hypersensitive reaction were induced to prevent the […]
