Hi, I am trying to get sporulation in Corynespora litchii so that I get good slide for photomicrograph of conidial characteristics. I have tried PDA as well as potato carrot agar with no satisfactory result. Further, whether Corynespora and Solicorynespora are synonym? Which name is currently valid? Please suggest some solutions and discuss the issue.
It has been Solicorynespora litchii since1990.
Both genera are valid but some species of Corynespora were transferred to Solicorynespora when this was created.
For this kind of questions check Mycobank and Index Fungorum
The Corynespora fungi need 16 hr fluorescent light to stimulate conidia development. Alternating 28 C to 23 C day light would be good. I would suggest using an agar medium and use 50 g of litchi leaves as the extract and 10 g of dextrose as sugar for your agar plates 15 g would be good.. Weak nutrient media on the natural plant plus light should allow better sporulation. Once you are getting good sporulation you may want to use slide culture technique and make your slides using a time series to get developmental stages. Take lots of photos and use a standard magnification scale.
