Abstract

Histopathological studies of false smut balls on rice spikelet were conducted through SEM and microtomy. Detection and identification of the fungal culture of Ustilaginoidea virens from infected host tissue was done through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using U. virens specific internal transcribed spacer (ITS) primer. The primer amplified 380bp product.
