Cover Story: Cercospora beticola, the most important fungal pathogen in sugar beets, has a long incubation period (IP) and is classified as a hemibiotroph. A single infection period under controlled conditions resulted in minor IP differences among host genotypes and individual plants, greater differences among leaves within plants, and substantial variation within individual leaves. A GIS approach enabled the tracking of lesion appearance and growth for up to 27 days. The first lesions appeared 10 days after inoculation; however, the number of lesions increased for another 7 to 17 days, while lesion growth was limited. The asymptomatic fungal colonization of tissue was associated with thick hyphae, which became thinner after the appearance of lesions. Despite the lengthy incubation period, evidence of a C. beticola biotroph phase is lacking. View this paper
