The sorus was 3-4 times larger than a normal grain of pearl millet and was cylindrical, sometimes with a slight curve in the middle or at the tip, and contained a black mass of spores covered by a whitish to dull yellow, fairly thick membrane. This is believed to be the first documented record of this fungus on pearl millet.} }
