Fig. 2From: Penicillium simplicissimum and Trichoderma asperellum counteract the challenge of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici in wheat plantsHyperparasitism of Penicillium simplicissimum on urediniospores of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). At 24 hpi: A normal shape and germination of urediniospores of Pst, B hyphae of P. simplicissimum growing from or between Pst urediniospores and C numerous hyphae of P. simplicissimum growing on Pst urediniospores. Note the shrivelled urediniospores. At 48 hpi: D hypha of P. simplicissimum invading a Pst urediniospore, E ruptured or malformed Pst urediniospore invaded by P. simplicissimum hyphae and F abundance of P. simplicissimum hyperparasite inhibiting the germination of urediosporesBack to article page
