Transfer of label from 3H-glucose in Digitaria eriantha leaves to the rust fungus Puccinia digitariae Pole Evans

ME Rey and HM Garnett

Digitaria eriantha pentzii was fed 3H-glucose prior to inoculation with uredospores of Puccinia digitariae Pole Evans. Twenty-one hours after inoculation, uptake of label from 3H-glucose by the primary infection structures of P. digitariae was demonstrated employing autoradiography. These results indicate that an exchange of nutrients between host and pathogen occurs very early on in the infection process, during the formation of the primary infection structures. Despite contrary reports that obligate parasites receive no nutrition before establishment of haustoria, this study supports the work of Andrews (Can J Bot 53:1103, 1975), who demonstrated uptake of 3H-glucose label from lettuce cotyledons into the primary and secondary infection vesicles, appressoria, and germ tubes of Bremia lactucae.
