Cladosporium fulvum, Cause of Leaf Mould of Tomato

  • Chapter
Fungal Pathology

Abstract

Cladosporium fulvum is a potentially serious fungal pathogen of tomato which has attracted attention as a model system in fungal phytopathology. C. fulvum is described, somewhat controversially, as an example of a biotrophic pathogen on the grounds that it causes little or no obvious damage to the plant. However, it is fully capable of axenic growth, unlike any of the classical biotrophs. It is also unique, at least amongst well studied fungi, in remaining entirely within the intercellular spaces in the spongy mesophyll of the sole host tomato. This has had the happy consequence that it has been possible to isolate from so-called apoplastic fluid, a number of significant fungal proteins including the first two avirulence gene products to be cloned from fungi (Van Kan et al., 1991; Joosten et al., 1994). C. fulvum was also the first biotroph whose complementary resistance genes were cloned (Jones et al.,1994).
