Abstract
Daedalea flavida Lév. causes considerable damage to bamboos. Bamboo tissues become soft, discoloured and fibrous. The pathogen causes considerable decay of internodes (about 22%) and rhizomes (about 38%). The pathogen attacks the cells of vascular bundles, bundle sheath sclerenchyma and phloem cells; it does not attack epidermis, hypodermis, and peripheral sclerenchyma tissues. Fungal hyphae grow longitudinal and transverse in host tissues. The parasite decomposes both cellulose and lignin. Copyright © 1984, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
