Abstract
A YEAR ago Buxton1 reported the development of red, Nectria perithecia after ultra-violet irradiation of a culture of Fusarium oxysporum f. pisi (Linf.) Snyd. and Hans. He stated that the fungus causes typical wilt of pea, was re-isolated from the reddened vascular tracts of wilted plants and that, therefore, there could be little doubt but that this homothallic Nectria is the perfect stage of that particular wilt-inducing Fusarium isolate (that is, F. oxysporum f. pisi).
