• Peach scab caused by is one of the most destructive fungal diseases of peach worldwide, and it seriously affects peach production. Until now,the infectious process and pathogenesis of on peach have remained unclear. Here we present the infection behavior of at the ultrastructural and cytological levels in peach leaves with combined microscopic investigations (i.e., light microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy). germinated at the tip of conidia and produced short germ tubes on peach leaf surfaces at 2 days post inoculation (dpi). At 3 dpi, swollen tips of germ tubes differentiated into appressoria. At 5 dpi, penetration pegs produced by appressoria broke through the cuticle layer and then differentiated into thick subcuticular hyphae in the pectin layer of the epidermal cell walls. At 10 dpi, the subcuticular hyphae extensively colonized in the pectin layer. The primary hyphae ramified into secondary hyphae and proliferated along with the incubation. At 15 dpi, the subcuticular hyphae divided laterally to form stromata between the cuticle layer and the cellulose layer of the epidermal cells. At 30 dpi, conidiophores developed from the subcuticular stromata. Finally, abundant conidiophores and new conidia appeared on leaf surfaces at 40 dpi. These results provide useful information for further a understanding of pathogenesis.
