Figure 1From: Stage-specific gene expression during urediniospore germination in Puccinia striiformis f. sp triticiUrediniospores and germ tubes of P. striiformis f. sp tritici (race CY32) after incubating for 10 h on plastic surface. Solid arrowheads marked germinated and un-germinated urediniospores. Dashed arrowhead indicated the swelling of germ tubes at the tip. Bar = 100 μm.Back to article page
