Abstract
SummaryProgressive colonization of adventitious, seminal and lateral roots of wheat by Gaeumannomyces graminis var. triticiwas monitored for 18 days after direct inoculation of roots. Adventitious roots supported greater colonization by superficial runner hyphae above and below inoculation sites than did seminal roots due to more rapid establishment of colonization. Subsequent rates of superficial runner hyphal growth along the two types of root were not significantly different. In contrast with seminal and lateral roots, adventitious roots did not show any dark stelar discoloration during the period of observation. Both the rate of growth of superficial runner hyphae and of advance of dark stelar discoloration were substantially slower on lateral roots than on seminal roots. After an initial period of equal growth above and below inoculation sites, superficial runner hyphae grew more slowly below than above these sites on all three types of root.
