Abstract

The nonseptate and intercellular mycelium of Albugo species feeds by means of globose or knob-shaped intracellular haustoria, one to several in each host cells. The detail of haustorial formation and development has been given by Berlin and Bowen (American Journal of Botany, 51, 650–652,1964a, American Journal of Botany, 51, 445–452, b); Coffey (Canadian Journal of Botany, 53, 1285–1299, 1975, Canadian Journal of Botany, 61, 2004–2014, 1983); Davison (Fr. Annals of Botany (Lond.), 32, 613–621, 1968); Fraymouth (Transactions of British Mycological Society, 39, 79–107, 1956), and Wager (Annals of Botany, 10, 89–91 , 1896).
