Title | Paper, 'The tubercular swellings on the roots of the Leguminoseae' by H [Harry] Marshall Ward |
Date | 1887 |
Description | Ward writes: 'The author finds that the tubercles on the roots of the Leguminoseae are due to the action of a parasitic fungus. Not only has he produced the tubercles by infection from without, but he has also found the infecting agent, and repeatedly seen and figured the infecting hypha passing down inside a root-hair and across the cortex of the root into the young tubercle.'
