This has black spherical spores (6*5 to 7"5;U in diameter), which germinate and give otf conidia from a promycelium. The spikelets gene- rally remain enclosed in their coverings. Treatment of seed- corn with a half per cent, copper steep is a certain remedy. Ust. nuda (Jens.) ( America). In ears diseased by this smut the epidermis of the glumes is early lost, so that the spore-powder lies freely exposed when the ears emerge from the leaf-sheath. The spores on germination give off a four- celled promycelium, which however produces no conidia, but develops directly to a septate mycelium. The spores are smooth-coated and oval (5-7m long and 5-6-5ya broad); they are matured and set free at the flowering season of the barley, and probably infect seedlings in spring. The spores of this smut are very resistant against treatment with copper steeps, and it is recommended to soften the barley for several hours in cold water before applying Jenson's method. Ust. tritici (Pers.) (Britain and America), Wheat-brand. The spores are developed in the ovary of the wheat, and are black with a tinge of olive-green. On germination they im- mediately form a non-septate mycelium (Fig. 160).
