Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation The potato smut fungus Thecaphora solani was cultivated in vitro for the first time.
- Observation Teliospores produced a very slow radial-growing, hyaline, septate mycelium in water agar medium after 30 to 40 days.
- Observation A white, sponge-like mycelial mass was obtained in HCM + 1% activated charcoal and on potato dextrose agar or malt-yeast-peptone media after 40 to 50 days under lab conditions.
- Observation The identity of teliospores and the sponge-like mycelial mass was corroborated by DNA fingerprinting and partial LSU rDNA sequencing.
- Observation The sexual cycle of the pathogen was completed under lab conditions, based on teliospore development on the sponge-like mycelial mass.
- Intervention effect Inoculation of an in vitro cv. Desirée potato explant with radial-growing mycelia induced a gall.
