Notes	The morphogenesis and germination of sclerotia of Sclerotium rolfsii were studied comprehensively using a scanning electron microscope. It was found that the development of sclerotia is strand type and their germination is mycelogenic. Internal mass of a matured sclerotia is differentiated into a thin cuticle, a fairly thicker rind consisted of considerable densely arranged hyphae forming pseudoparenchymatous tissues having thick walled cells and a medulla consisted of loosely arranged ordinary filamentous hyphae forming prosenchymatous tissue. It was also observed that sclerotial germination may initiate from any location of surface, cuticle, rind, cortex, medulla or intermedullary layer by resuming growth of the hyphae which form the respective structures.
