ABSTRACT
The aims of this study were to clarify the reproductive biology of the
Ustilago filiformis
Schrank, as causal agent of the stripe
smut of
Glyceria multiflora, determine the infection process of the pathogen and analyze the histological changes associated host-Glyceria
any fungus attack. Moreover, the life cycle of the fungus was elucidated for the first time. Both teliospores and basidiospores
were found to be equally efficient in producing the infection in
Glyceria
plants after the plants had been inoculated. These results
constitute an important contribution for the understanding of the epidemiology of the disease.
