The favorable substances contained in oatmeal for sporulation of rice blast fungus, Pyricularia oryzae Cavara, were successively extracted from milled oatmeal with petroleum ether, deionized water, 0.9% sodium chloride, 70% ethanol and 0.01N HCl (pH 3-4). Number of conidia decreased remarkably on the medium prepared from the residue left after 70% ethanol extraction. It seemed that one of the favorable substances for sporulation of this fungus existed in oatmeal was prolamin, which was contained abundantly in oatmeal and extracted specifically with 70% ethanol.
