Abstract
Spores of Septoria linicola, the pathogen of pasmo of flax, exude from pycnidia in slimy masses not adapted for dispersal by wind. Conidia were produced directly from the mycelium in culture, and secondary conidia were produced by germinating spores. Such spores might be dispersed by wind much more readily than pycnidiospores, and might account for rapid spread of pasmo observed in fields of maturing flax.Keywords
