Oospores of Peronospora ducometi, the causal agent of downy mildew of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), were found in the calyx remnant attached to the seed, on the inside of the seedcoat and in the spermoderm layer between the seedcoat and the endosperm. This constitutes a first report documenting the location of oospores in buckwheat seed. Systemic infection of seedlings occurred from oospore-infested seed. Conidial germination was greater at 14 degrees C than 25 degrees C. Systemic infection also occurred as the result of conidial infection of leaves. It is proposed that primary infection of buckwheat occurs by the germination of seed-borne oospores resulting in systemic invasion of the seedling by the germtubes, and followed by conidial formation on the cotyledons. Secondary infection occurs initially from conidia produced on the cotyledons as a result of the systemic infection from seed and subsequently as the result of repeated infections by conidia produced on leaf lesions as the disease progresses up the plant
