The Hemibiotroph Colletotrichum graminicola Locally Induces Photosynthetically Active Green Islands but Globally Accelerates Senescence on Aging Maize Leaves

Typically, pathogenesis of the hemibiotroph Colletotrichum graminicola and defense responses of its host, Zea mays, are studied on young leaves. Equivalent studies have not been performed with leaves undergoing senescence, a situation that is relevant in the field. We discovered that, in contrast to...
