Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Russian wheat aphid infestation caused barley leaf cells to collapse and autofluoresce in the mesophyll and bundle sheath adjacent to the stylet sheath in early infestation.
- Observation The collapsed autofluorescent barley cell response was visually similar to the hypersensitive cell death response.
- Observation Stylet entry sites and sheath paths of the Russian wheat aphid fluoresced in barley leaves, making them easy to observe in whole leaf sections.
- Association Resistant barley produced significantly more collapsed, autofluorescent cells than susceptible barley.
- Association The number of collapsed autofluorescent cells increased with the number of days of feeding in resistant barley.
- Observation Collapsed autofluorescent cells could be observed 1 day after infestation, the most rapid barley response to the aphids known to date.
- Recommendation The response may be useful for screening barley for resistant plants.
