Summary The infection of Vicia faba L. by Botrytis fabae Sard. produced numerous necrotic lesions. Electron microscopic observation of these areas indicate autolysis, blackening and disintegration of the host cytoplasm. In contrast to healthy cells, cells on the periphery of the necrotic lesions contain large volumes of cytoplasm, numerous golgi bodies and a well-developed endoplasmic reticulum (ER). There is a restricted development of the fungus within the host tissues, and the only difference between the fine structure of the fungus growing within and outside the host tissues, is the less dense cytoplasm of the former. The relationship of lomasomes and vesicular structures to the hydrolysis of complex polysaccharides in the host was investigated.
