The modes of teliospore germination of Ustilago trichophora (Link) Kunze ex Körnicke occurring in Poland

Wojciech Pusz

Abstract


Ustilago trichophora affects Echinochloa crus-galli and other species of Echinochloa genus. U. trichophora is a member of the order Ustilaginales, of which the germinating teliospores form a promycelium with sporidia. Investigations by Ingold (1996) proved that spores coming from various parts of the world germinate in a different way. The aim of the investigation was to determine the mode of germination of U. trichophora spores found in Poland.
