Figure 3. Advanced stages of chickpea infection by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris races 0 and 5 in compatible and compatible interactions.

Figure 3

Left panels: cross sections; Right panels: longitudinal sections. (a,b) intercellular colonization of cortical root tissue occurring in all compatible and incompatible interactions; (c–d) intercellular colonization of cortical root tissue and fungal mycelia through root xylem vessels occurring in all compatible interactions and in the incompatible interactions of cv. JG-62/race 0 and cv. WR-315/race 5; (e–f) heavy colonization of xylem stem vessels occurring in all compatible interactions and in the incompatible interaction of cv. JG-62/race 0. The Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris isolates were transformed with the ZsGreen fluorescent protein and imaged using confocal laser scanning microscopy. c: cortex, x: xylem.
