The mycelium is intercellular, and branched haustoria penetrate the cells. 419. Asexual stage.— The sporophores are short, are developed in great numbers, and crowded un- derneath the epidermis. These sporophores bear chains of spores (conidia; fig. 219), and the mass bursts through the epi- dermis, giving a white rusty appearance. The spores germinate by the formation of zoospores as in the grape downy mildew. 43

Sexual reproduction.—This process is very much as described for the downy mildews, but in some species many sperm nuclei from the sperm case enter the egg and pair off to fuse with the many nuclei in the egg. 431.
