Induction of Disease Symptoms in Barley by Powdery Mildew.

Powdery millews usually grow superficially on their hosts but produce symptoms of disease throughout the underlying host tissues. The symptoms include marked increase in respiratory rate (1, 3, 15. 24, 26, 30. 35); accumulation of organic and inorganic substances (1,29, 36): increase in dry weight (10. 26) ; increase in wet weight (3) decrease in photosynthesis when the disease is well develope...

Distribution of the Products of Photosynthesis between Powdery Mildew and Barley.

The photosynthetic assimilation of (14)CO(2) has been studied in healthy and mildew-infected barley. The parasite was separated from the host by removing the mycelium with a camel's hair brush. The ethanol soluble metabolites of the parasite, infected host and healthy host were extracted, separated by paper chromatography and individually identified. From this work it appears that there is a ra...

Effects of Powdery Mildew and Water Stress on CO(2) Exchange in Uninfected Leaves of Barley.

Net photosynthesis is stimulated in third seedling leaves of barley plants whose lower two leaves are heavily infected by Erysiphe graminis f.sp. hordei Marchal. Stimulation is greater in water-stressed than in well-watered plants. In stressed, but not in well-watered plants, stimulation is associated with the maintenance of high leaf water potential and high leaf conductance. A small part of t...

Interchromosomal Transfer of Immune Regulation During Infection of Barley with the Powdery Mildew Pathogen

Powdery mildew pathogens colonize over 9500 plant species, causing critical yield loss. The Ascomycete fungus, Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei (Bgh), causes powdery mildew disease in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Successful infection begins with penetration of host epidermal cells, culminating in haustorial feeding structures, facilitating delivery of fungal effectors to the plant and exchange o...
