The effect of infection by erysiphe graminis f.sp. hordei on protein synthesis in vivo in leaves of barley

The effect of infection by Erysiphe graminis f.sp. hordei on protein synthesis in a susceptible cultivar of Hordeum vulgare has been studied using in vivo labelling. Results have indicated a decline in protein synthesis in the chloroplasts at 1, 3 and 5 days after inoculation and in the cytoplasm at 3 and 5 days after inoculation. The most extensive effect of the pathogen was on the synthesis of a 32 Kd protein synthesised in the chloroplasts
