Spore morphology in Coleosporium plumeriae
Keyword(s):
Coleosporium plumeriae Pat. is a rust fungus (Melampsoraceae) found on Plumeria species. The spermagonial and aecial states are unknown. Light and scanning electron microscopy of uredinia have revealed catenulate, verrucose urediniospores with scattered germ pores. We expect that, as in other Coleosporium species, the urediniospores are morphologically similar to aeciospores. The urediniospore ornamentation consists of distinctive, annulate, bluntly capitate tubercles. Light microscopy of telia indicates that teliospores are smooth, gelatinous, and one celled, quickly appearing four celled with division of the protoplast into an internal four-celled basidium.
