Spore surface glycoproteins of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum are recognized by a monoclonal antibody which inhibits adhesion to polystyrene

Article Abstract:

A study conducted on spores of the fungal plant pathogen Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, the cause of bean anthracnose, reveals that low levels of UB20 lgG inhibits the attachment of the spores to polystyrene Petri dishes. The results indicate that the glycoproteins recognized by UB20 are also responsible for the initial rapid attachment of the spores to hydrophobic substrata. Polystyrene microspheres bound selectivity to the 110 kDa glycoprotein in Western blots provide additional evidence for this hypothesis.

Nonpathogenic strains of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum trigger progressive bean defense responses during appressorium-mediated penetration

Article Abstract:

The hierarchy of bean defense responses triggered during the penetration of a susceptible cultivar of bean by nonpathogenic strains of Colletrotrichum lindemuthianum were studied by using three strains as well as the wild-type strain. Results suggest that avirulence factors are produced when plant penetration occurs and is triggered by extracellular compounds secreted by the fungus or fungal cell wall proteins.

Immunomagnetic purification of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum appressoria

Article Abstract:

A technique is described using a monoclonal antibody to isolate the appressoria from the bean anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. The appressorium is the first structure formed in preparation for invasion of the host.
