Development and ultrastructure observations of secondary hyphae of Podosphaera leucotricha on apple cultivars of varying susceptibility to powdery mildew
- Institute of Botany and Phytointroduction, 480090 Almaty, Kazakhstan
The development and ultrastructure feature of secondary hyphae of Podosphaera leucotricha were studied using light and electron microscopy. The percentage of development and length of secondary hyphae, differed in compatible and incompatible combinations. In compatible host-parasite combinations, hyphal cells of powdery mildew fungus contained a full complement of fungal organelles. There were differences of hyphal ultrastructure in compatible and incompatible host-parasite combinations, the main one was the appearance of dense material inside the nucleus, in the cytoplasm, and a few mitochondria.
