Microscopic Analyses of Latent and Visible Monilinia fructicola Infections in Nectarines
Fig 3
Ultrastructure of tissues from healthy nectarines and nectarines with a visible M. fructicola infection after a 24-hour incubation at 25°C.
A and B: The cuticle (cu), cell wall (cw) and ultrastructure of epidermal and hypodermal cells of healthy nectarines, scale bar = 5000 nm. C-E: Conidial germination (co) and germ tubes (gt) of M. fructicola on the surface of the cuticle of nectarines with a visible infection, scale bars = 2000 nm (C and D) and 500 nm (E). F and G: Intercellular hyphae (h) of M. fructicola, scale bar = 2000 nm.
