Abstract

The morphology of fruiting pustules in six isolates ofPestalotia causing the leaf spot diseases ofSyzygium cumini, Eugenia heyneana, Carissa congesta, Madhuca indica, Mangifera indica andPsidium guajava was studied. On the first two hosts both pycnidial as well as acervulus like fruiting bodies were produced. OnMadhuca indica the structure of fructifications varied on the two surfaces of the leaf while on the remaining hosts, the fructifications were typically acervular in nature. Considerable fluctuations in the structure of the fruiting bodies were observed.
