1) Ho t plant: Leave of Taro of 3rd or t· I a1 from he top of the plant., collected fr m the diff r nt ag d plant, were applied to
th t The age of the plant re: 4 10,and
16 months old. The leave were cut into
piece. The diameter of the leaf piece wa B
em. Each of the piece wa put onto a et filterate paper in a Petri di h.
2) Inoculum: Sporangial u pension a
pre'pared from the lO-day-old culture grown at
24° C. In order to obtain zoo pores, the us·
pen ion wa kept at 24°C. in a incubator for
2 hour. The number of zoo pore in the sus-pen ion wa 2,000 per milliliter.
3) Inoculation: Inoculation te t were done at 16'\ 20°, 24°, 28°, 30°, and 32° C. The each three pieces of the leaf were incubated a the each temperature.· ive spot of Z
0-porangial uspen ion, each pot contained
0.1 rnl. were inoculated to the each piece. The infection was e amined by measuring the diameter of symptoms and by counting the 'nfected pot.

1. The influence of light and temperature on he sporu! tion
hen the fungus was expo ed to the light,
it produced 230,000 of porangia per milliliter
at 200
C., and 450000 at 2 0 C. When the tungu a not expo ed to the light, the
por-uIation a 150000 at 2(}0C.. and 200,000 at
240
C. (Table 1).
2. The minimum time for the beginning of indirect germination
The indirect germination of the porangia of the fungu began in 15 minute when the porangia were placed in the light at 24'" C.
bile it began in 20 minutes in the dark at the same temperature. The fungus a1 0 germi-nated indirectly in 25 minutes in the dark, at
160
C.
3. The relation between concentration of porangia and their germin.ation
As the Table2 show total germination of
the sporangia decreased as the number of the porangia increased; ity-five percent of the

The total germination of porangia obtained from the cul ure which was expo ed to the light during the growth period was low.

wa rather high. It a 13% in the light and 17o/c in he dark. The indirect germina ion of porangia obtained from the culture which a e po ed to the ligbt a r 10 . It wa 36~

In 90 hour ,after inoculation.IV. Discu sion
The porulation te of the fungu were done by orne writer. Leonian (7) reported hat the media contained dextrose wa the be t for porulation. Gomez (4) found that porangia were produced after a week in the mo t ca e . utler nd Kulkarni (2) reported that light doe not eff et on porulation hen temperature condition are uitable (250
C.).
According to the present tests, sporulation of the fungu is influenced by the light. When the sporangia were obtained from the culture
hleh was exposed to the Ught at 200
C., the porangia sporulated more than 1.5 times of the porangia grown in the dark at the same temperature. At 240
C., the sporangia grown in the light sporulated approximately 2.5 times of the sporangia grown in the dark.

In the pre ent te t , the indirect germination of the porangia of the fungu wa rapid in the light than in the dark at the optimum temperature of the germination, In the light, the germination began ithin 15 minute at 24° C., hile it began in 20 minute in the dark at the arne temperature.
The total germination of the porangia of the fungu decrea ed a the number of the porangia 'n the porangial u pen ion increa ed. The direct g rmination inc rea ed and the indirect germination de rea d a the number increa ed.
not mentioned the influence of temperature, light, or other factor to the porangial germination of the fungu in the te t. One thing Gomez mentioned a that the time required for germination of the porangia varied with the age of he culture from hicb they were taken.

The germ tubes from porangia hich germinate directly a sporangia were also found capable of penetrating leaf, entering across or between the lower epidermal cells. Gomez (4) found the brown pots appeared at the inoculated point in 3 to 7 days under field condition. In the chamber they occured in 36 to 48 hour . ccording to the present studies, brown spots a the i ible symtoms were observed in 70hour at 20° C., in 36 hour at 24° and 28° C., and in 40 hours at 30° C. Temperature range for the infection of the fungu lies between 20° and 30° C. Optimum temperature lie be-t en 24° and 28° C. The diameter of symptom d r a ed a he plant becomes old.
