Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation The rust fungus penetrated wheat leaves only through stomata.
- Observation Within one or two days after inoculation, the fungus formed a substomatal sac or growth hypha in the upper epidermis.
- Observation Rust growth and spread across the leaf intensified on days 6–8.
- Observation Pustules formed within 11–14 days at 16–18C.
- Observation At pustulation sites, leaf cellular structure was disrupted and chloroplasts were destroyed.
- Observation Etiolated leaves were infected, but fungal development apparently stopped after short mycelial hyphae formed.
- Intervention effect Transferring etiolated plants to natural light resumed rust development and enabled sporulation.
