Effect of temperature on the production of sclerotia by the psychrotrophic fungus Typhula incarnata in Poland

摘要

Isolates of the snow mold fungus Typhula incarnata from Radzików, Blonie, near Warsaw in Poland formed many small-sized sclerotia (< 1 mm) at 0 deg C. This phenomenon was not observed in other isolates from different locations that have regions withannual snow cover. The formation of small-sized sclerotia by Polish isolates decreased with rising temperature, but the formation of large-sized sclerotia increased.
