Tobacco Blue Mold

Tobacco Blue Mold

Blue mold affects only tobacco plants and is a local, regional, and continental problem. It is caused by the fungus Peronospora tabacina, which rapidly produces tiny spores that are ejected into the air and spread by air currents. As evidenced by this micrograph, combining phase contrast microscopy with classical histological staining techniques often yields enhancement of cellular features.
