Abstract

Eudarluca caricis, the teleomorph of Sphaerellopsis filum, was found on blackberry rust (Phragmidium violaceum) in south west England and its morphology is described. Cultures derived from ascospores produced pycnidial conidiomata and conidia typical of S. filum, confirming the connection between the meiotic and mitotic stages of the fungus. Microconidia were also found in the cultures derived from ascospores. Conidiomata developed on the majority of uredinial pustules of P. violaceum 10 d after inoculating detached, uredinia-bearing blackberry leaves with the conidia from the cultures derived from ascospores.
