Figure. 1. Sugar compositions of developing G. elatatubers
Sugar contents of developing tubers. Metabolites were extracted from
freeze-dried samples and analyzed by GC-MS. Results are means ± SE from
three biological samples.
Figure. 2. Cell morphology of G. elata tubers inoculated
with Armillaria.
(a) Developing tubers in association with Armillaria isolates.
(b) Histological images of inoculated cortical cells in (a). Red dye
indicated formation of thick cell walls. (c) Zoom-in micrograph of
fungal matrix in infected cortical cell. (d) Zoom-in image of the
interface between the infected cell and the neighboring large cell in
the white box in (c). (e) Zoom-in image of curving ingrowth of cell wall
(white arrows) and plasma membrane (*) in the white box in (d). (f)
Micrograph of transmission electron microscopy showing the protruding of
wall ingrowth (white arrows). Abbreviation: f: fungal hyphae; IC:
infected cortex cells; N: nucleus; S: starch grain; V: vacuole; WI: wall
ingrowth. Scale: 1cm in (a), 100 µm in (b), (c), (d); 10 µm in (f), (e).
