Abstract
The in planta endoglucanase production by Macrophomina phaseolina was analyzed by probing tissue blots with a peptide-specific antibody. Endoglucanase (EGL 1) was readily detected at 60 h after microsclerotial inoculation to corn and tobacco stems. Production continued through the study, along with growth of the fungus in stem tissue. Endoglucanase was rapidly transported through the xylem, resulting in distribution to distal portions of the plant. Production at the site of infection was correlated with symptom expression, suggesting a role for endoglucanases in disease progression.Key words: cellulase, charcoal rot.
