IN-DEPTH EVALUATION OF ROOT INFECTION SYSTEMS USING THE VASCULAR FUNGUS VERTICILLIUM LONGISPORUM AS SOIL-BORNE MODEL PATHOGEN

In-depth evaluation of root infection systems using the vascular fungus Verticillium longisporum as soil-borne model pathogen

Abstract Background While leaves are far more accessible for analysing plant defences, roots are hidden in the soil, leading to difficulties in studying soil-borne interactions.Inoculation strategies for infecting model plants with model root pathogens are described in the literature, but it remains demanding to obtain a methodological overview.To
