which subsequently zoospores are produced. Zoospores are spores with flagellae, which enable the spores to move through water. The zoospores are…
On the infected area, new spores are formed within a few days. Under circumstances unfavourable for germination, the spores can survive a few days on…

The pathogens continue to grow inside the leaves and after a while new spore-bearing structures are protruding from the stomata. Because there are…

recently it was discovered that the fungus produces basidiospores. These spores don’t play a role in the epidemics or dispersal of the fungus, only…
