Inoculation Technique for Fungus Cultures

A plastic straw and wood applicator stick serve as a simple, inexpensive, and disposable inoculation unit for fungal studies. The method gives a uniform and intact inoculum. The technique is especially useful because a large number of agar plates can be inoculated rapidly.     

玉米抗镰刀菌穗腐病接种方法及抗病资源筛选研究

对玉米抗穗腐病性鉴定中采用的牙签法与花丝通道注射法进行比较研究表明,牙签法接种果穗的发病程度重于花丝通道注射法接种。牙签法接种病菌于果穗子粒与穗轴之间,有利于病原菌的发育扩展,是一种比较理想的、容易操作的接种方法。采用牙签法接种串珠镰刀菌,对178份玉米自交系和15份杂交种进行抗穗腐病鉴定,筛选出高抗(HR)自交系1份、抗病(R)玉米自交系34份、抗病(R)玉米杂交种12份。
