Abstract

Nuclear division in an isolate of  Stemphylium botryosum obtained from lucerne was investigated using the HCI-Giemsa technique. Vegetative mycelium was predominantly monokaryotic. Chromosome counts at metaphase gave a tentative haploid number of six. Six chromosomes could again be distinguished at late anaphase. Migration of nuclei between hyphae was observed. The conclusion is drawn that somatic divisions in this fungus are strictly mitotic.
