Abstract

Saprophytic mycelium of the rust fungus Melampsora lini (Ehrenb.) Lév., race 3, invaded the wounded ends of detached cotyledons of Bison variety flax placed on suitable agar media. A normal parasitic relationship was established within 4 weeks, as shown by the presence of numerous haustoria. The rust mycelium invaded intercellular spaces in the cotyledons as well as in well-established adventitious roots. Uredosori formed mainly on thickened parts of the cotyledons, adjacent to callus tissue. Nuclei in uredospores were difficult to observe but in general there seemed to be two per spore. Teliosori formed infrequently under the conditions used but in some cultures they did develop on the cotyledons and on the oldest parts of adventitious roots. Teliospores were uninucleate.
