| ultrastructure of the host-pathogen relationship in entomosporium leaf spot disease of photinia. | entomosporium mespili appears to be a hemibiotroph on infected photinia leaves. this fungal pathogen produced distinctive haustoria in living host cells in young lesions. each haustorium possessed a long slender neck with a single septum and an enlarged distal body that contained a single nucleus. a collar of host cell wall material was associated with the haustorial neck. intact haustoria also were found in necrotic cells of older lesions. however, by this stage of disease development, the path ... | 2000 | 10777453 |
| a simple and reliable method for obtaining entomosporium monoconidial isolates. | monoconidial isolates of entomosporium mespili were successfully cultured using a simple isolation procedure. a detailed description of the steps required for isolating e. mespili is provided. the characteristic pattern of conidial germination and growth on potato dextrose agar is also described. the process that was successful in obtaining pure isolates involved collecting material in the morning, picking a glistening white mass of conidia under dissecting microscope magnification, depositing a ... | 2011 | 21538259 |
