K. Toyoda et al., ELICITOR ACTIVITY OF A FUNGAL PRODUCT ASSESSED AT THE SINGLE-CELL LEVEL BY A NOVEL GEL-BEAD METHOD, Plant and Cell Physiology, 34(5), 1993, pp. 775-780
Elicitor from Erysiphe pisi was incorporated into gel beads. Individua
l beads were placed on single cells from barley coleoptiles. The elici
tor induced unusual cytoplasmic responses and temporary resistance to
infection in coleoptile cells. The technique is applicable to assessme
nt of elicitor activity at the single-cell level.
