Cultured tissues from Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco were successfully inoculated with Cronartium ribicola J. C. Fisch. ex Rabenh. Typical intracellular haustoria were formed 60 days after inoculation. Invaded nonhost tissues were necrotic within 90 days, and dead within 120 days. Tissue cultures of either Pinus monticola Dougl. or P. menziesii had an attractant effect on nearby rust mycelium.

Tissue cultures of Pinus monticola Dougl. derived from stem cortex and leaf tissues were found susceptible to artificial inoculations with mycelium from the blister rust fungus (Cronartium ribicola Fisch. ex Rabenh.). Tissue cultures from leaf mesophyll grew slower and were colonized more rapidly by this fungus than those derived from stem cortex.

Colonies of the rust fungus Cronartium ribicola J. C. Fischer were grown axenically and then transferred so that they lay immediately next to callus cultures of the pine host (Pinus monticola Dougl.). Twelve days after the establishment of this association samples of the fungal mycelium taken 2 mm away from the pine callus and at the host–parasite interface were fixed for electron microscopy. Differences were found in the appearance and thickness of the lateral walls and extracellular coatings depending on the proximity of the fungus to the host–parasite interface. Septa were intermediate in structure between the Ascomycete and dolipore types. The origin of the extracellular sheath is discussed.

Tissue cultures derived from the cortex of Pseudotsuga menziesii provided the nutrients required to support growth of Cronartium ribicola, a rust fungus. In nature, this obligate parasite is sustained by Pinus and Ribes spp. only. The pathogen was separated from its source of nutrients by a cellulose membrane. These experiments demonstrated that the nutritional factors required for growth of this rust are not host-specific and have small molecular size.

Inoculations of western white pine seedling stems with rust-infected tissue cultures produced one successful rust infection after 5 months. The infection was typical of this rust (Cronartium ribicola J. C. Fisch. ex Rabenh.) and the presence of haustoria was confirmed. Infected cortex tissue from this seedling was used to reestablish the isolate on host tissues grown in vitro.

Rust mycelia from tissue cultures infected with Cronartium ribicola J. C. Fisch. ex Rabenh. were grown on cellophane membranes in the absence of physical contact with host tissue. These membranes were in contact with agar media containing imbedded, actively growing western white pine (Pinus monticola Dougl.) tissue cultures. Identities of these cultures were verified by reestablishing infections in healthy host tissue cultures.

Rust infections were established in healthy, undifferentiated tissue cultures of Pinus monticola Dougl. by direct inoculation with germinating basidiospores of Cronartium ribicola J. C. Fisch. ex Rabenh. Infections were verified by confirming the presence of typical rust haustoria and extensive intracellular ramification by the mononucleate rust mycelium.
