Germ pore regions could not be located on the surface of Uromyces dianthi urediospores before germination. Germ tube emergence did not split the spore wall. Double spine features were observed on the spore surface.

Observations with the scanning electron microscope reveal tuberculate prominences up to 0.75 to 1.0 μ high and 0.5 μ wide on the suface of the conidium. The prominences are 1.0 to 1.5 μ apart and in the mature conidia have flattened cap-like tops. The swollen tips of the conidiophores are finely warted.

Two types of surface markings on the aeciospores of five pine stem rusts occurring in Canada were observed under a scanning electron microscope. Spores of four species, Endocronartium harknessii (J. P. Moore) Y. Hiratsuka (= Peridermium harknessii J. P. Moore), Cronartium coleosporioides Arth. (= P. stalactiforme Arth. & Kern), C. comptoniae Arth., and C. ribicola J. C. Fisch., had annulated processes with five to seven layers and each spore had a smooth area. The smooth area was at the same level as the top layer of the processes. Each species could be distinguished by the shape and size of its processes. Spores of Cronartium comandrae Pk. had no smooth areas and had obtuse or cuspidate processes with no annulations. Different ontogenies were apparent for the two types of spore surface markings.

Germ tubes of Cronartium coleosporioides Arth. (= Peridermium stalactiforme Arth. and Kern) emerged between processes through short irregular slits. Germ tube walls were folded when they emerged and expanded after the emergence.

Clubroot galls taken from 40-day-old Brassica rapa L. var. glabra Kitamura, grown in soil infested with Plasmodiophora brassicae Wor. were examined by scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) microscopy. SEM materials were prepared by freeze fracturing followed by ion etching. A thin layer enveloped the mass of sporangia which in etched specimens appeared to be embedded in a fibrillar net deposited among the sporangia. Both SEM and TEM micrographs revealed a circular germ pore (ca. 1 μm in diameter) with a thickened plug-like region in the pore orifice. The wall of the mature resting sporangium consisted of three layers W1, W2, and W3.

AbstractThe shape and surface structure of peg-like setae occurring in certain male Staphylinidae and other Coleoptera are described with the aid of a scanning electron microscope. The sites at which these organs are known to occur and the taxa in which they have been found are listed. Their possible function is discussed.
