... In order to observe asexual reproductive structures (sporangia, vesicles, and zoospores), isolates were transferred onto CMA containing sterile hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) seeds or turfgrass (Poa sp.) [47] for 24 h. The hemp seeds or turfgrass were then transferred to Petri dishes containing distilled water [48], sterile soil extract [49], or Schmitthenner solution [50] under a fluorescent light for 48 h and were checked every 8 h six times. Moreover, sporangia formation was examined using French bean agar media (FBA, extract of 30 g/L boiled French bean; agar 15 g/L [) [45] and sterile soil extract. ...
