| Description： |
On PDA, growth is rapid, with delicate, white to pale purple aerial mycelium. Orange sporodochia and dark blue sclerotia are present or absent. Colonies reach 4.0-4.8 cm diameter for 4 days at 24℃. From below the cultures are colorless to dark purple in color. Microconidia produced abundantly in chains or in false heads from unbranched or branched mono- or poly-phialides, 1-celled, club-shaped with a flattened base, 2.5–15.0 × 1.8–3.5 μm. Pear-shaped microconidia may be present, but generally are rare. Macroconidia produced from monophialides, slightly sickle-shaped to straight, thin-walled, delicate, with a foot-shaped basal cell, mostly 3-5 septate, 22.5–62.5 × 2.5–4.0 μm. Chlamydospores are absent. Gibberella fujikuroi var. intermedia Kuhlman is heterothallic and the teleomorph is obtained by pairing compatible monoconidial isolates on Sach’s agar media supporting sterilized rice straw. | |||
