Schumacher and Halbsguth first demonstrated ectodesmata as pores or channels in the epidermal cell walls in haustoria of Cuscuta odorata L. by light microscopy in tissues fixed in a sublimate fixative (30% ethyl alcohol, 30 ml:glacial acetic acid, 10 ml: 65% nitric acid, 1 ml: 40% formaldehyde, 5 ml: oxalic acid, 2 g: mecuric chloride to saturation 2-3 g). Other workers have published electron micrographs of structures transversing the outer epidermal cell in thin sections of plant leaves that have been interpreted as ectodesmata. Such structures are evident following treatment with Hg++ or Ag+ salts and are only rarely observed by electron microscopy. If ectodesmata exist without such treatment, and are not artefacts, they would afford natural pathways of entry for applied foliar solutions and plant viruses.

Conidia of R. secalis (Oud.) Davis germinated on barley leaves to produoe , short germ tubes and appressoria. Hyphae below the appressoria penetrated the outicle and formed extensive myoelial mats between the cuticle and the outer epidermal cell walls. Epidermal cell walls beneath the subcuticular hyphae became swollen, lamellate, and collapsed so that the inner and outer walls of the epidermis came together.

Fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled lectin from wheat-gem, which binds N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, and Griffonia simplicifolia, Arachis hypogaea and Glycine max lectins, each of which binds D-galactose, react with nucellar epidermal cell walls in thin sections of plastic-embedded developing wheat grain. Reactivity of these cell walls with periodic acid-Schiff reagent, the absence of staining with protein stains and the failure of a number of proteases and the endoglycosidases D and H to prevent the binding suggested that the lectin-reactive wall components are neither proteins nor N-glycosidically linked glycoproteins. Morphological differences in lectin staining patterns and treatment of sections with chitinase and α-galactosidase, prior to the reaction with the lectins, indicated that two separate polysaccharides are probably involved in the binding. Chitinase removed the reactivity of the nucellar epidermal cell walls for wheat-germ lectin but the binding of D-galactose-specific lectins was unimpaired. Conversely, α-galactosidase did not affect the binding of wheat-germ lectin but reactivity with the galactose-specific lectins was abolished. From the available evidence we conclude that one polysaccharide in the nucellar epidermal cell wall reacts with wheat-germ lectin and contains N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in a chitin-like structure. The other polysaccharide reacts with D-galactose- specific lectins by virtue of terminal α-D-galactose residues. Hydrolysis and subsequent chromatographic analysis of nucellar epidermal cell walls peeled from immature grains revealed the presence of D-glucosamine, D-glucose, D-galactose, D-xylose, L-arabinose and a trace of D-mannose.

Race 1

Etiolated seedlings of cucumber, muskmelon, watermelon, pumpkin, and squash were inoculated with Colletotrichum lagenarium (Pass.) Ell. & Halst. race 1, Colletotrichum atramentarium (Berk. & Br.) Taub., or Helminthosporium carbonum Ull. The fungi germinated and produced appressoria equally well on all hosts. Penetrations into host cells, however, were routinely observed only in the interactions of C. lagenarium with cucumber, muskmelon, and watermelon. Histochemical staining of the other host–pathogen interactions (nonhost interactions) revealed that the lack of penetration by fungi into nonhost tissue was associated with the deposition of lignin in the upper and lateral host epidermal cell walls around appressoria. Treatment of the lignified tissues with 0.5 M NaOH or hot ethanol did not alter staining reactions. Treatment with hot aminoethanol, a delignifying agent, did eliminate stainings. Cupric oxide oxidation of lignified epidermal cell walls from each host revealed that each host produced a p-coumaryl-rich, guaiacyl-poor ligninlike material. These results suggest that lignification may be a general nonhost resistance response in the Cucurbitaceae.
