Sporulation of Cercospora canescens Ellis and Martin in culture

Sporulation of Cercospora canescens Ellis and Martin in culture

1981

REP.MB-2296

This study was conducted to obtain a supply of conidia sufficient for screening mungbean mutant lines for a source of resistance to Cercospora leaf spot caused by Cercospora canescens Ellis and Martin. Abundant sporulation occurred in cultures on mungbean decoction oatmeal agar(MOA) exposed to about 2,500 lux of fluorescent light, but it did not occur in continuous darkness. The conditions that produced maximum number of conidia was not coincided with those for vegetative growth and pigmentation in culture medium. Removal of aerial mycelium in culture by brushing with sterile water so enhanced the conidial production that oatmeal agar medium(OA) could be useful for production of abundant conidia by the treatment.
