Rust fungi like Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici are known to change their cell wall properties upon entering the plant tissue. Immunohistochemistry revealed the cellular localization of two class III chitin synthase isoforms in rust mycelia developing on and in the host plant. Isoform IIIa is restricted to fungal infection structures growing on the surface of the plant, such as germ tubes and, predominantly, appressoria. Isoform IIIb is found exclusively in haustoria developed inside the plant. Thus, the rust fungus uses at least two chitin synthase isoforms with specialized functions in the differentiation of infection structures during the biotrophic plant-pathogen-interaction.
► Two class III chitin synthases of P. graminis are localized differentially.
► Chitin synthase IIIa is localized in germ tubes and appressoria.
► Chitin synthase IIIb is found in haustoria only.
► Different CS isoforms are involved in development of different infection structures.
