Abstract

The influence of cold temperature storage and exogenous nutrients on teliospore germination of 11 isolates of Tilletia fusca was assessed. Storage at 5 C stimulated germination of some isolates when they were incubated at 5 C, both in light and in dark. The relation of cold temperature and light activation to dormancy mechanisms and the significance of dormancy in the life cycle of T.fusca was discussed. Isolates of T.fusca varied in germination responses to water agar, soil extract agar, and media that contained different concentrations of mineral salts, asparagine, and sucrose. (...)
