Abstract
Spikelets of the Pennisetum americanum cv. PSB-8 excised from inflorescences at the boot stage and cultured on Murashige & Skoog's medium produced stigmas after 7 d. Stigmas inoculated with conidia of Claviceps fusiformis withered within 2.5 d. Honey dew was produced after 5.5 d and sclerotia after 14 d in 72 and 71.2% of spikelets, respectively. The characteristics of axenic cultures from these sclerotia were similar to those obtained from sclerotia collected from the field
