Abstract

AbstractThe nodal segments of 7‐day‐old seedlings of maize were inoculated with sporidia of Ustilago maydis. At different times after inoculation (day 0 to day 9), the nodal segments were explanted to tissue culture media containing Benomyl. On one of the media, segments explanted at day 1 or later responded with the formation of galls carrying roots. In such galls Ustilago could complete its life cycle and form teliospores. Explantation at day 0 never led to gall or teliospore formation. Thefindings are discussed with respect to the possible presence of mycoboethins.
