A. brassicicola localization on A. thaliana siliques. Scanning electron microscopy images of Arabidopsis thaliana (Ler ecotype) siliques 10 days after inoculation with Alternaria brassicicola (Abra43). (a), mycelium development on the outer surface of a silique in many directions from the inoculation point. (b), conidia germination (white arrow) on the outer surface of a silique. (c), hyphal penetration into silique tissues via a stomatum (St). (d), direct hyphal penetration into silique tissues at cellular junctions (white arrowhead). (e), hyphal reemergence from silique tissues via a stomatum (St). (f), conidia formation (double white arrowheads) on the outer surface of a silique. (g), mycelium development and conidia formation (double white arrowheads) on the inner surface of a silique. (h), abundant fungal colonization of the replum.
