Adhesion of Spores and Hyphae to Plant Surfaces

  • Chapter
Plant Relationships

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 5))

Abstract

Although fungal adhesion to plants has been recognized for over a century, this aspect of fungal-plant interaction has not been well characterized (Nicholson and Epstein 1991). The importance of adhesion has rarely been critically tested, no fungal adhesive compound that mediates attachment to plants has been fully characterized, and few data are available that describe the molecular bases of fungal-substratum binding. The detailed description of fungal-plant attachment is further complicated by the fact that adhesion occurs at multiple stages of fungal morphogenesis; adhesion can be associated with zoospores and their cysts, conidia, germlings, appressoria, and infection cushions (Nicholson 1984). In some species of rust and anthracnose fungi, several different types of cells (i.e., spores, germlings and appressoria) attach to the host surface before penetration (Chap. 2, this Vol.; Chap. 5, Vol. V, Part B).
