Abstract
The origin and progress of differentiation of sclerotial tissues of Claviceps purpurea within the parasitic sphacelium is described. Light microscopy revealed early differentiation adjacent to conidiogenous tissue in a superficial region 12 days after inoculation. Formation of a typical ergot sclerotium was subsequently achieved by hyphal growth and differentiation in an organised region distal to the host-parasite interface.
