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 freetress deep twist 14 inch 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
