Direct mechanical dispersion and in vitro culture of fusiform rust fungus single basidiospores

Abstract

Single basidiospores of Cronartium quercuum f. sp. fusiforme were cast from telia suspended over a solidified nutritional medium affixed to an operating orbital shaker. Spores thus mechanically dispersed and isolated, germinated to develop single-genotype colonies.
