The basidiomycetous fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici causes the stem rust disease of wheat. Resistance of wheat to the fungus is often associated with the hypersensitive reaction of infected host cells. A glycoprotein isolated from germ tube cell walls of the pathogen elicits a hypersensitive-like response when injected into wheat leaves. Infection structures morphologically identical to those grown on wheat were induced in the absence of the host plant, and indirect immunofluorescence together with specific monoclonal antibodies to the elicitor was employed to locate the antigen at fungal infection structures. No binding occurred to germ tubes or appressoria. The antibodies located the antigen only at that part of the fungal infection structure that develops endophytically in nature and, moreover, only at the youngest part of this structure. In rust-infected wheat leaves, the immunolabel appeared only at haustoria, the structures thought to be involved in specific recognition between host and parasite.
