Abstract
The inability of many fungal pathogens to infect and colonize some of the more economically important members of the Gramineae is frequently associated with localized structural changes to the cell wall at the site of infection, during the initial penetration event [1,2,3]. These modifications involve the deposition of material on the inner surface of the cell wall directly below the penetration site as a cell wall apposition or papilla and an alteration to the structure of the cell wall surrounding the penetration site to form a halo or disc. Papillae and the surrounding modified cell walls are collectively termed reaction sites [4].
