Abstract

Co-inoculation of healthy standing rice plants with compatible isolates of Magnaporthe grisea pathogenic to rice resulted in the production of perithecia on the detached portions of leaf sheaths. The isolates had been obtained from the same lesion on a diseased plant collected in Yunnan Province, China. Perithecia were also produced on dead tissue of leaf sheaths and nodes of standing rice plants in a moist chamber. These results strongly suggest that the teleomorph of M. grisea can occur in the upland rice fields in Yunnan.
