Abstract

Dual cultures were successfully established using malformed florets of pearl millet infected with Sclerospora graminicola, the downy mildew pathogen. A higher proportion (86%) of calli from malformed florets formed dual cultures on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium with 2 mg l-1 of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), Compared to shoot tips (25%). Fungal mycelium covered the entire surface of the callus within 30 days of placement of explants on the MS medium with 2 mg l-1 of 2,4-D. The infected calli also differentiated and produced plantlets when transferred to MS medium without 2,4-D.
