Summary:<br />
• Phakopsora pachyrhizi will preferentially form<br />
appressoria on polystyrene coated slides <strong>and</strong> germtubes<br />
on PDA <strong>and</strong> agar plates<br />
• Viability of isolated urediniospores is frequently lost in a<br />
few days after being release from the pustule<br />
• <strong>Germination</strong> of P. pachyrhizi urediniospores may occur<br />
in clumps.<br />
• Clumps may protect urediniospores against desiccation,<br />
UV radiation <strong>and</strong> other environmental factors.<br />
• Clumped spores are more likely to travel long distances<br />
<strong>and</strong> reach new areas.
