In thin sections of wheat rachis and stem, embedded in Spurr's resin, prefixed with glutaraldehyde and postfixed with osmium, large amounts of barley thionins were localized in cell walls with anti‐thionin‐protein A/gold. Reduced binding to thionin was detected in cell walls penetrated by Fusarium culmorum , suggesting that cell wall thionins were degraded by the fungus.
