Subject(s): In: Cryptogamic Botany v. 2, no. 2-3, p. 214-218612955, 620089, 624579Summary: The germination of ascospores and the formation of appressoria of the obligate parasite Phyllachora maydis increased from 10° to 20 °C, then decreased at 25 °C. A high percentage of conidia of the facultative parasite Monographella maydis germinated on the seven agar media substrates under test conditions. The conidia of M. maydis germinated between 5° and 35 °C and pH values of 3 to 8. The highest germination of conidia was obtained on mung bean agar at 25 °C. Dark conditions resulted in higher germination. Conidia of M. maydis survived for 109 days on detached leaves under ambient conditions, although their viability decreased rapidly after 81 days. Ascospores of P. maydis are released within 2 to 3 wk after formation of the stromata.
