Antique Framed Print : Mouldy crop, SEM
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Mouldy crop, SEM
Mouldy crop. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of grey rot (Botrytis sp.) on a runner bean plant. This is a parasitic fungus that can cause great damage to food crops. The threads (hyphae) of the fungus chemically digest the plant and use the digested material to grow new hyphae. Clusters of spore-bearing structures (blue) are seen here. These release spores, the reproductive structures of fungi, to drift on the wind and infect other plants. Magnification: x185 when printed 10cm high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the destructive power of a parasitic fungus known as grey rot (Botrytis sp. ) on a runner bean plant. The image, captured using a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveals the intricate details of this fungal infestation. The threads, or hyphae, of the fungus can be seen chemically digesting the plant material and utilizing it to grow new hyphae. This process ultimately leads to decay and spoilage of food crops, causing significant damage in agriculture. Highlighted in blue are clusters of spore-bearing structures called sporangia. These structures play a crucial role in reproduction for fungi like Botrytis sp. , releasing spores into the air to spread and infect other plants. It is through these airborne spores that this parasitic fungus finds new hosts. With a magnification level of x185 when printed at 10cm high, this SEM image offers an up-close look at the intricate world within decaying vegetation. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and danger present in nature's microscopic realm. Science Photo Library continues to provide remarkable visual insights into scientific phenomena such as this one, allowing us to appreciate and understand our natural environment more deeply.
