Teliospores are 9 15 ?m in diameter, brown in color, spherical in shape and contain lipid-rich globules.
32.
Sporidia are then able to enter the maturing kernels and leave vast numbers of teliospores where healthy kernel tissue used to be.
33.
This phenomenon is associated with the production of meiospores within the teliospore cytoplasm, ultimately released by rupture of the teliospore wall.

35.
"U . agropyri " produces teliospores, which may be wind dispersed or distributed through soils via machinery or animals.
36.
They eventually hijack the plants'reproductive systems, forming galls which darken and burst, releasing fungal teliospores which infect other plants nearby.
37.
In order to get to the open flowers of healthy plants, the teliospores must be moved by wind or rain or possibly insects.
38.
As the plant enters the boot stage, the mycelium grows rapidly into the floral tissue which is converted to masses of black teliospores.
39.
Teliospores come to rest in soils, and when conditions are right, they give rise to more basidiospores, further spreading the infection.
40.
In preferred weather conditions, a teliospore which has successfully attached to a susceptible host will germinate to produce what is known as a promycelium.
