|
The University of Florida (UF) is a major, public, comprehensive, land-grant, research university. The state's oldest most comprehensive university, UF is among the nation's most academically diverse public universities. UF has a long history of established programs in international education, research and service. It is one of only 17 public, land-grant universities that belongs to the Association of American Universities. The University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) is a federal-state-county partnership dedicated to developing knowledge in agriculture, human and natural resources, and the life sciences, and enhancing and sustaining the quality of human life by making that information accessible. While extending into every community of the state, UF/IFAS has developed an international reputation for its accomplishments in teaching, research and extension. Because of this mission and the diversity of Florida’s climate and agricultural commodities, IFAS has facilities located throughout Florida. IFAS provides research and development for Florida’s agricultural and natural resources industries that in 2008, had a $76.5 billion annual impact. |

| 5426747 | Alternaria black molds / stem cankers | Alternaria spp. | The spores were obtained with a tape mount which was stained with Lactophenol Blue and viewed with a compound scope at 40x. The microscope picture was taken at 4 days (2x10x). |
| 5426815 | black stem, stalk rot | Thielaviopsis spp. | The pathogen was incubated at 25 degrees C with alternating periods of light and dark (12hr. each per day). The spore picture was taken at a two-day time interval at 40x magnification with a compound microscope. The spores were obtained via a tape mount and stained with Lactophenol Blue. |
| 5426829 | wood rot fungi | Trichoderma spp. | Please note that Trichoderma is common lab contaminant and not technically a plant pathogen. It is frequently seen on plates while attemping to grow out unknown pathogens. The spores were obtained with a tape mount which was stained with Lactophenol Blue and viewed with a compound microscope at 40x. The microscope picture was taken at 4 days. |
| 5426806 | Rhizopus soft rots | Rhizopus spp. | The pathogen was grown on Acidified Potato Dextrose Medium and incubated at 25 degrees C with alternating periods of light and dark (12hr. each per day). The spore picture was taken at a four day time interval at 40x magnification with a compound microscope. The spores were obtained via a tape mount and stained with Lactophenol Blue. |
