Here, we present a protocol to induce the production of adventitious roots (ARs) through the phloem- or epidermis-girdle fungal pathogen inoculation pathway, which is suitable for the study of root biology and the light response-related physiological processes in poplar.

Poplar Adventitious Roots Induced by Stem Canker Pathogens: An Experimental System for Studying Roots Biology and Light Response-Related Processes

Valsa sordida and Botryosphaeria dothidea are two crucial necrotrophic fungal pathogens that damage many plant hosts, particularly species in the genus ...

We provide a step-by-step protocol for assessing poplar resistance to stem canker pathogens using an in vivo leaf inoculation method. This method is especially suitable for large-scale assessment of Cytospora chrysosperma and Botryosphaeria dothidea canker disease resistance in poplar breeding progeny in China.

In Vivo Leaf Inoculation: An Alternative Method to Assess the Disease Resistance of Hybrid Clones in Poplar Breeding of Stem Canker Disease

Stem canker diseases caused by the pathogen Cytospora chrysosperma (Pers.) Fr.) and Botryosphaeria dothidea (Moug. ex Fr.) Ces. &#38; de Not. are the two ...
