Tóm tắt

AbstractScanning electron microscopy indicated that sub‐stomatal cavities on sweet cherry leaves are “protected sites” which shelter resident populations of Pseudomonas syringae pv. morsprunorum. Bacteria entered the stomata, multiplied in the cavities and emerged in a mass 6 days after inoculation. There were no visible symptoms, suggesting that the pathogen colonized the host in “sub‐clinical” numbers to generate populations which were then released onto the leaf surface under suitable conditions.
