Downy mildew infected ragi plants exhibits a wide range of symptoms. Histopathological studies of the diseased plant have revealed that the fungus mycelium is present in root, stem, floral parts and seed causing morphological and anatomical changes. The mycelium develops profusely in the sub-stomatal spaces and from this the sporangiophores emerge through the stomata. In the leaf tissue invaded by the fungus, the chloroplasts and leucoplasts are either few or absent. Cells of the mesophyll in the case of the diseased leaves are distorted. Sometimes, the cells of the invaded tissue dissolve and the mycelium or sex organs occupy the space thus created. In the leaf tissue, the intercellular spaces surrounding the vascular sheaths are the primary centres of mycelial development. The sex organs are mostly confined to the vicinity of the vascular bundles. In the infected leaf, very few epidermal hairs are developed.

Stimulation of teliospore germination in smut fungi
H Shekara Shetty K M Safeeulla
Preheating and heated teliospore extracts have been found to be stimulatory to germination of the teliospores of ten different smut fungi used in this study. The effect is mostly on the percentage of germination.
Maximum per cent of spore germination was observed at higher concentrations of glucose and sucrose solutions. The percentage of germination of spores of the species included was more in sucrose than in glucose. Most of the vitamins of B-complex groups stimulated the initiation of germ tube.
Many of the growth regulators tried, except 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid have a stimulatory effect on teliospore germination. Higher percentage of teliospore germination was noticed in the case of gibberellic acid, followed by indole 3-acetic acid, beta-indole butyric acid and alphanaphthalene acetic acid.
Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, furfural, fumaric acid, oxalic acid and citric acid were also stimulatory, in that order.
