Introduction 3(Carroll, 1969, 1974; Carroll and Mayhew, 1976a,b; Mayhew and Carroll, 1974)and Wang and Maule (1992, 1994), respectively. Similarly, the histopathology <strong>of</strong>seeds affected by bacteria is poorly studied, and the investigations are usuallyconfined to seeds infected by Acidovorax, Burkholderia, Clavibacter, Curtobacterium,Pantoea, Pseudomonas, Rathayibacter, and Xanthomonas.<strong>Seed</strong>-borne nematodes also occur as seed infestation or seed infection. The lattercauses either seed gall formation (Anguina spp.) or symptomatic or symptomlessinfections.1.3 HISTOPATHOLOGYEver since Cobb (1892; see Royle, 1976) proposed the mechanical theory <strong>of</strong> rustresistance indicating that morphological features, such as thick cuticle, waxy covering,small stomata, abundant leaf hairs, and upright leaves, might be responsiblefor the resistance <strong>of</strong> wheat varieties to Puccinia graminis, numerous studies onhistology <strong>of</strong> infected plant parts, particularly leaves and stems, have been carriedout. This information has been summarized in excellent reviews on (1) histology <strong>of</strong>defense (Akai, 1959; Royle, 1976; Schonbeck and Schlouster, 1976); (2) abilities<strong>of</strong> pathogens to breach host barriers (Dickinson, 1960; Emmett and Parberry, 1975;Dodman, 1979); and (3) physiology and biochemistry <strong>of</strong> penetration and infection(Flentje, 1959; Alberschein, Jones, and English, 1969; Mount, 1978; Durbin, 1979;Kollattukudy, 1985).Although the first observation on internal presence <strong>of</strong> the mycelium <strong>of</strong> Colletotrichumlindemuthianum in cotyledons <strong>of</strong> seeds <strong>of</strong> Phaseolus vulgaris was madeas early as 1883, further progress until 1950 was rather slow. It is during the latterhalf <strong>of</strong> the 20th century and more particularly after 1970 that several comprehensivereports have appeared on the penetration and location <strong>of</strong> microorganisms in seeds.Early information has been summarized by Baker (1972), Neergaard (1979), andAgarwal and Sinclair (1997).Various histological techniques, e.g., the embryo extraction method initially usedby Skvortzov (1937), whole-mount preparations <strong>of</strong> seed components (Maden et al.,1975; Singh, Mathur, and Neergaard, 1977), free hand sections, and microtomesections have been used. Microtome sections <strong>of</strong> weakly, moderately, and heavilyinfected seeds alone provide information on exact expanse <strong>of</strong> mycelium in seed andalso the effects <strong>of</strong> host–parasite interactions (Singh, 1983). Although used primarilyin the study <strong>of</strong> virus infections and in a limited way in the study <strong>of</strong> fungal infections,transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)have yielded valuable information, which certainly surpasses the results <strong>of</strong> lightmicroscopy.REFERENCESAgarwal, V.K. and Sinclair, J.B. 1997.
