| 1. | Initially, germ tubes emerge from soil residing sclerotia that overwinter.
|
| 2. | The most common are germ tubes which grow and develop into hyphae.
|
| 3. | The germ tubes will grow to form the hyphae and fungal mycelia.
|
| 4. | The conidial anastomosis tubes are morphologically and physiologically distinct from germ tubes.
|
| 5. | From this germ tube, it grows a haustorium.
|
| 6. | Secondary sporidia accomplish this by penetrating the epidermis of host glumes via germ tubes.
|
| 7. | The germ tube differentiates, grows, and develops by mitosis to create somatic hyphae.
|
| 8. | CATs are morphologically and physiologically distinct from germ tubes and are under separate genetic control.
|
| 9. | Sporangia can infect taro leaves either directly via germ tubes or indirectly by producing zoospores.
|
| 10. | Sporangia germinate directly in a nutrient medium by producing germ tubes that develop into mycelial masses.
