Urediniospores produced at different temperatures were also examined for their germinability in vitro. The optimal temperature for urediniospore production was at about 20 and 25 C. Temperatures below 20 C or above 30 C were highly detrimental to urediniospore production. There were also marked differences in the percent germination of urediniospores produced at different temperatures. Urediniospores produced at 20 and 25 C showed the highest germination percentages. The interaction of temperature with urediniospore production and germinability is important in understanding the development of peanut rust epidemics. date: 1994 date_type: published publication: Peanut Science volume: 21 number: 2 publisher: American Peanut Research and Education Society pagerange: 79-81 refereed: TRUE issn: 0095-3679 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.3146/i0095-3679-21-2-1 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Effect+of+Temperature+on+Urediniospore+Production+and+Germinability+in+Puccinia+arachidis&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5 citation: Rao, P V S and Subrahmanyam, P and McDonald, D (1994) Effect of Temperature on Urediniospore Production and Germinability in Puccinia arachidis.
