“…Washed conidial pellet samples from each treatment were resuspended in 5 ml of Carnoy's fluid (75:25, vlv, of absolute ethanol and glacial acetic acid, respectively). Drops of conidial suspensions were placed on glass slides coated with 0.1 % carrageenan and, after 24 h, stained with Giemsa-HCl dye (28). Coverslips were affixed with Permount adhesive (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA).…”

Ecology and Epidemiology tests implied that the leaf environment had a greater influence on the germination of conidia from 30: I medium than conidia from 80: I or 10: I media. All conidial treatments caused losses in biomass of seedlings of S. exaltata. Conidia produced in 10: I or 30: I media induced greater reduction in shoot height. and conidia from 10: I medium induced greater reduction in shoot dry weight than did conidia from 80: I medium. Further research on increasing the efficacy of mycoherbicide conidia by modifying the phyllosphere environment and the nutritional conditions of the conidiation medium is needed.

“…At the London Research Centre of Agriculture Canada, Edmund W.B. Ward surprised many mycologists with his assertion that conventional mitosis took place in Basidiomycetes (161). This was at a time when the predominant view was that vegetative nuclear division was amitotic.…”

This brief history of mycology in Canada has comments on the activities of more than 200 men and women. Emphasis is on those aspects of mycology in which Canadian mycologists, plant pathologists, forest pathologists, and geneticists have pioneered or excelled. It includes their studies on fossil fungi, aeromycology, the identity of wood destroying fungi in their mycelial stages, the coevolution of parasitic fungi and their host plants, mycotoxicology, psychrophilic fungi, predacious fungi, fungal genetics, and mycorrhizae, in addition to systematics, numerical taxonomy, and the use of computers in mycology. Key words: fossil fungi, fungal genetics, coevolution, predacious, mycorrhizae, taxonomy.

“…A variety ofcytological stains and staining procedures including Giemsa-HCl (23), acetic-orcein (11), propionic-carmine (17), iron haematoxylin (20), safranin 0 (1), aniline blue or trypan blue (5), toluidine blue (9), and basic fuchsin or Feulgen stain (4,16) have been used to investigate the nuclear condition of reproductive and somatic structures of fungi. Fluorescent stains such as acriflavin (19), acridine orange (22), 2,5-bis(4-aminophenyl)-1 ,3,4-oxadiazole (BAO) (14), and especially 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (3,13,18) have been employed more recently to differentiate and improve the resolution of nuclear DNA from other cellular constituents and to quantitate genomic DNA through microspectrophotometric analyses.…”
