Characterisation of the Fusarium graminearum-Wheat Floral Interaction
Figure 1
X-gluc stained susceptible Bobwhite wheat ear at 8 days (a) and 12 days (b) post point inoculation with the constitutive GUS expressing strain. The four ears displayed from left to right in each panel were either photographed before and then after staining of the same intact ear or before and after staining of an ear longitudinally sliced through the midpoint. The white brackets surrounding a portion of each ear pair indicates the two spikelets which received the original F. graminearum inoculum. Note: Mock (water-only) inoculated ear demonstrated no nonspecific GUS staining (data not shown).
