conidial germination patterns in powdery mildews.	four conidial germination types namely, polygoni (syn. pseudoidium), cichoracearum (syn. reticuloidium), pannosa (syn. fibroidium) and fuliginea (syn. magnicellulatae) are commonly used as an aid in the identification of the oidium anamorphs of powdery mildews. however, results of germination tests and a survey of the literature showed that these types did not adequately distinguish all taxa and did not reflect the range of species covered. hence two new main types, striatoidium and blumeria, ar ...	2009	19640400
identification of individual powdery mildew fungi infecting leaves and direct detection of gene expression by single conidium polymerase chain reaction.	abstract greenhouse-grown tomato seedlings were inoculated naturally with two genera of powdery mildew conidia forming appressorial germ tubes that could not be differentiated by length alone. for direct identification, single germinated conidia were removed from leaves by means of a glass pipette linked to the manipulator of a high-fidelity digital microscope. this microscope enabled in vivo observation of the fungi without leaf decoloration or fungal staining. the isolated conidia were subject ...	2005	18943465
