Abstract
- Natural sclerotium formation in two species of Curvularia was observed. The sclerotia were spherical to elongated. The scanning electron microscopical observations of sclerotia revealed that the sclerotia were of two distinct layers of cells, outer loosely woven hyphae and inner contact layer of cells. Different lights, viz. red, blue, green, fluorescent or addition of culture filtrate of Sclerotium rolfsii in the medium did not affect sclerotium formation.
