The association of Diaporthe phaseolorum var. sojae with soybean seed decay was examined by ultrastructural studies using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The fungus was detected over the seed surface as whitish-grey mycelial growth and scattered black pycnidia. Hyphae and pycnidia...
