Other claims from this paper (11)
- Method / resource Direct microscopy estimated A. pullulans densities 0.5–2.6 log10 units higher than plating.
- Observation Microscopic field occupancy by A. pullulans averaged 22–42% per date.
- Observation A. pullulans field occupancy was greater over the midvein than interveinal regions.
- Observation A. pullulans field occupancy was greater over smaller veins than interveinal regions.
- Observation A. pullulans colonization intensity was significantly greater over veins than interveinal regions.
- Observation Main colonizing A. pullulans morphotypes were blastospores, swollen cells and chlamydospores.
- Observation A. pullulans hyphae and pseudohyphae were infrequently seen.
- Observation A. pullulans microcolony number increased over the growing season.
- Observation Percentage of A. pullulans cells in microcolonies increased over the growing season.
- Observation A. pullulans microcolonies were significantly greater over veins than interveinal regions.
- Observation The authors conclude that A. pullulans colonizes apple leaves mainly as single cells or groups and is highly heterogeneous.
