Abstract
The development of resting spores in 2 Synchytrium species namely Synchytrium lagenariae Mhatre and Mundkur and S. trichosanthidis Mhatre and Mundkur parasitic on cucurbitaceous hosts has been studied. Both the species have a similar pattern of development and do not exhibit gross variation in their sequence and mode of development.
