Cytological and Molecular Analysis of the Hordeum vulgare-Puccinia triticina Nonhost Interaction
Cultivated barley, Hordeum vulgare L., is considered to be a nonhost or intermediate host species for the wheat leaf rust fungus Puccinia triticina.Here, we have investigated, at the microscopic and molecular levels, the reaction of barley cultivars to wheat leaf rust infection.In the nonhost resistant cultivar Cebada Capa, abortion of fungal growt
