tailieunhanh - Cultural variability, viability and longevity of teliospores of sorosporium paspali-thunbergii in kodo millet

The teliospores of Sorosporium paspali-thunbergii were observed in spore balls of 17-34 x 42-57 µ. The individual teliospores are globose, sub-globose, angular in shape and yellowish brown to dark brown in colour. The size of teliospore ranged 6-13 x 4-19 µ. Maximum teliospore germination was observed in 2 % glucose solution over 1 % glucose solution and tap water. Maximum radial growth was observed in Potato Dextrose Agar medium followed by Oat Meal Agar medium, Corn Meal Agar medium and Czapek’s dox Agar medium. Potato Dextrose Agar medium produced white mycelial colony, submerged and regular fast growth and no pigmentation. | Cultural variability, viability and longevity of teliospores of sorosporium paspali-thunbergii in kodo millet
