X-RAY MICROANALYSIS IN PHYTOPATHOLOGY

X-ray microanalysis methods have significantly expanded the functionality of electron microscopy. X-ray microanalysis is widely applied in activities, which deal with plant physiology. The paper explores the functioning of the stomach apparatus of fodder beans (Vícia fába). The regulation of the stomatal function depends on the potassium concentration in the closing cells. The authors investigated the infestation of wheat leaves with mildew (Erysiphe graminis) (Triticum astivum) and obtained the data that reveal the changes in the elemental composition of tissues in the affected area. This has contributed to find out the role of various elements during the infectious process in case of wheat plants with powdery dew contamination. The paper summarizes the materials on the application of X-ray microanalysis in phytopathology. It stipulates the participation of calcium in the formation of the mechanism of nematode capture in different age colonies of predatory fungi Arthrobotrys oligospores Fres was revealed. The data on tissue barrier in wheat roots, where the transport of both sodium and chlorine salting elements and potassium and calcium macro elements is controlled, are obtained. The authors show that transporting of these elements is regulated by active mechanisms in the endoderm cells. The article demonstrates the results of X-ray microanalysis aimed at determining the content of elements of magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium and calcium in soybean leaves affected by various diseases. The authors observed the changes in potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus concentration in leaves with bacterial burn, ascochytosis and alternative. They argue the participation of elements in formation of plant resistance to disease and the role of these elements in the physiology of the infectious process.
