Abstract	Chlorophyll fluorescence imaging was used to follow infections of Nicotiana benthamiana with the hemibiotrophic fungus, Colletotrichum orbiculare. Based on Fv/Fm images, infected leaves were divided into: healthy tissue with values similar to non-inoculated leaves; water-soaked/necrotic tissue with values near zero; and non-necrotic disease-affected tissue with intermediate values, which preceded or surrounded water-soaked/necrotic tissue. Quantification of Fv/Fm images showed that there were no changes until late in the biotrophic phase when spots of intermediate Fv/Fm appeared in visibly normal tissue. Those became water-soaked approx. 24 h later and then turned necrotic. Later in the necrotrophic phase, there was a rapid increase in affected and necrotic tissue followed by a slower increase as necrotic areas merged. Treatment with the induced systemic resistance activator, 2R, 3R-butanediol, delayed affected and necrotic tissue development by approx. 24 h. Also, the halo of affected tissue was narrower indicating that plant cells retained a higher photosystem II efficiency longer prior to death. While chlorophyll fluorescence imaging can reveal much about the physiology of infected plants, this study demonstrates that it is also a practical tool for quantifying hemibiotrophic fungal infections, including affected tissue that is appears normal visually but is damaged by infection.
