Infection structures of fungal plant pathogens : a cytological and physiological evaluation
Many fungi differentiate specific infection structures m order to infect the host plant. The spore attaches to the host surface the cuticle, and the germ tube may recognize suitable penetration sites, over which an appressorium ,s formed Additional wall layers in appressoria of many fungi suggest that this structure supports mcreasing pressure during the penetration process. During appressorium...
متن کاملA simple generic infection model for foliar fungal plant pathogens.
ABSTRACT In this study, a simple generic infection model was developed for predicting infection periods by fungal foliar pathogens. The model is designed primarily for use in forecasting pathogens that do not have extensive epidemiological data. Most existing infection models require a background epidemiological data set, usually including laboratory estimates of infection at multiple temperatu...
متن کاملPhysiological and biochemical characterization of Trichoderma harzianum, a biological control agent against soilborne fungal plant pathogens.
Monoconidial cultures of 15 isolates of Trichoderma harzianum were characterized on the basis of 82 morphological, physiological, and biochemical features and 99 isoenzyme bands from seven enzyme systems. The results were subjected to numerical analysis which revealed four distinct groups. Representative sequences of the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS 1)-ITS 2 region in the ribosomal DNA ge...
متن کاملSaponins versus plant fungal pathogens
The production of low-molecular-weight antimicrobial molecules within plants is one component of defense against pathogens. Among them, preformed antimicrobial compounds (phytoanticipins) are the first biochemical barriers against pathogens. Saponins (a group of phytoanticipins) are present constitutively in plants and play important roles in plant defense. A variety of biological roles have be...
متن کاملHigher plant diversity promotes higher diversity of fungal pathogens, while it decreases pathogen infection per plant.
Fungal plant pathogens are common in natural communities where they affect plant physiology, plant survival, and biomass production. Conversely, pathogen transmission and infection may be regulated by plant community characteristics such as plant species diversity and functional composition that favor pathogen diversity through increases in host diversity while simultaneously reducing pathogen ...
