| Abstract | After a brief period of biotrophic growth, the anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. et Mgn.) Bri et Cav. develops extensively in bean leaf cells, causing severe wall alterations and death of the host protoplast. Aplysia gonad lectin, a polygalacturonic acid-binding agglutinin, was complexed to gold and used to study the extent of pectin breakdown during the necrotrophic phase of the infection process. In view of its specific binding properties for the endopolygalacturonase produced by C. lindemuthianum, a polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein isolated from bean cell walls was successfully tagged with gold particles and used for localizing the sites of enzyme accumulation in infected host tissues. The basal level of endopolygalacturonase produced by C. lindemuthianum grown in culture was found to increase severalfold when the fungus developed in host plant tissues. The enzyme was able to diffuse freely in the host cell wall, causing drastic degradation of the pectic material of primary walls and middle lamella matrices. The enzymatic alteration of plant cell walls was accompanied by the release of pectic fragments and by the accumulation of pectic molecules at specific sites, such as intercellular spaces and aggregated cytoplasm of infected host cells. The occurrence of pectic molecules at those sites where fungal growth is likely to be restricted is discussed in relation to their origin and their implication in the plant's defense system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
