Abstract/Contents: | "We developed two standardized procedures that improve the reliability of in vitro fungicide testing using strains of Colletotrichum and Botrytis. They required different incubation temperatures, but all were grown under coolwhite fluorescent lights with a 12 h photoperiod. Fungi were grown on Roswell Park Memorial Institute medium 1640. We developed a protocol for standardizing spore germination times. A concentration of 105 conidia/ml, harvested after 10 to 14 days, was optimal. Higher concentrations inhibited germination. We washed conidia three times in sterile water, thus significantly reducing germination time. We developed a leaf-clearing technique to assess reproducible germination conditions using detached strawberry leaves. Small leaf pieces were placed overnight in a solution of 1:2 absolute ethanol:glacial acetic acid, stained with 0.05% acid fuchsin for two minutes, and water rinsed. The leaves were clear, viable conidia were bright red, and nonviable conidia were clear." |
