Melanin synthesis is associated with changes in hyphopodial turgor, permeability, and wall rigidity in Gaeumannomyces graminis var. graminis

Mycelia of Gaeumannomyces graminis var. graminis form large cells called hyphopodia with deeply lobed, melanized walls. Like appressoria produced by other pathogens, hyphopodia develop on hydrophobic surfaces, but it is not clear that hyphopodia function as platforms for host penetration. In appress...
