Histopathology of Raphia hookeri leaf infected with Glomerella cingulata causing seedling blight
The host-pathogen relationship between the Raphia hookeri seedling leaf and Glomerella cingulatashowed that the host cells were macerated. This allowed penetration of the pathogen through the hypodermis to the palisade tissue which resulted in dark coloration and disruption of the transfusion tissues. Hypersensitivity reaction was observed. The xylem and phloem were left without any attachment...
