Characterisation of the Fusarium graminearum-Wheat Floral Interaction

Figure 2

GUS activity (nmol MU minute−1) of individual spikelets in representative wheat ears (susceptible cv. Bobwhite) inoculated with the constitutive GUS expressing Fusarium strains and harvested at either 8 dpi (a) or at 16 dpi (b). The right portion of each panel is a photograph showing the macroscopic disease symptoms on the ear immediately prior to all the spikelets being sampled. The bars in red represent symptomatic infection, whilst the bars in blue represent symptomless infection. In technical replicates, the values obtained never varied more than 5% from each other.
