In vitro investigations and microscopic studies about the development of Phoma chrysanthemicola Hollos f. sp. chrysanthemicola, the causal pathogen of a collar and root rot of chrysanthemums
Different media were tested for cultivation of Phoma chrysanthemicola. The pathogen grew best on PDA and carrot‐Agar at a temperature of 25°C. The three strains used showed many variations, concerning the structure and colour of the mycelium. Fructification has been promoted by irradiation (ultra‐violer ray). The morphogenesis, especially the formation of pycnidia, conidia and sclerotial structures has been examined with help of the scanning electrone microscope (SEM), results are presented., So far unknown organs probably belonging to the fungus were observed, their identity is still not clear.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
