Mode of Infection of Phyllosticta maculata on Banana as Revealed by Scanning Electron Microscopy

Abstract: The initial infection stages of Phyllosticta maculata on banana were studied using scanning electron microscopy. Conidial germination on the banana leaf surface commenced within 3 h postinoculation to produce a long and slender germ tube. The hyphae developed secondary branches and mostly grew randomly across the leaf surface. Appressoria were formed at the apex of the germ tubes within 18 h postinoculation and were variable in shape. A layer of an extracellular matrix surrounded the appressoria at the pathoge… Show more

“…Endophytic P. capitalensis also possesses potential antagonistic effects against pathogenic P. citricarpa on citrus (Tran et al 2019). Some Phyllosticta species generate appressoria prior to entering their hosts, for example P. maculata (Wong et al 2013). Phyllosticta species mainly produce melanized appressoria (Sutton 1980;Chethana et al 2021a, b).…”
