Abstract:
The conidial morphology of the different isolates of Leveillula taurica (Lev.) Arn. collected during survey showed the presence of pyriform conidiospores, cylindrical conidiospores and pyriform + cylindrical conidiospores. The size of pyriform conidiospores was found to be 50.70-80.20 × 12.6-25.10 µm, and that of cylindrical conidiospores was 42.60-62.10 × 9.80-18.60 µm. The conidiophores were hyaline, septate, both branched and unbranched were observed with an average size of 155.4-220.10 × 5.80-8.40 µm.
