Appressorium

An appressorium is a specialized cell typical of many fungal plant pathogens that is used to infect host plants. It is a flattened, hyphal "pressing" organ, from which a minute infection peg grows and enters the host, using turgor pressure of 8.0 MPa (80 bars), capable of punching through even Mylar.
