Abstract
Monosporidial and monoteliosporic cultures of Narasimhania alismatis Pavgi & Thirumalachar parasitic on Alisma reniforme D. Don. yielded culture colonies exhibiting a differential behavior conditioned by the nuclear status, presence of compatible strains in the colony and incubation temperature. Implications for survival of the fungus are indicated.
