conidiaphores

Updated: May 23, 2025

"I determined the nature of the conidia by comparing them with authentic conidia directly removed from diseased plants; by there being attached to some of them portions of the characteristic conidiaphores; and by cultivating them in a moist chamber, the result of which was, that five conidia, not having been immersed in the glycerine, retained their vitality, which they showed by bursting and producing zoospores in the manner characteristic of Peronospora infestans."
