Abstract

Research Note

Antigens were isolated from the walls of Oidium conidia by a simple extraction method. Polyclonal antiserum was produced against these antigens and an immunofluorescent assay was developed to detect overwintering mycelium of Oidium in dormant buds. The results show that a specific detection of Oidium mycelium is possible without visualizing other fungal mycelia in dormant buds of grapevines.
