Sclerotinia spore plume (VIDEO) University of California - Berkeley This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Caption In a few tenths of a second, Sclerotinia expels hundreds of thousands of spores in a plume that can rise 20 cm, much higher than any single spore by itself. At right, the spores ejected first (blue) do not travel as far or as fast, but they create a wind that carries spores released milliseconds later (yellow) much higher, and the final spores (red) even higher and faster. Filmed at 3,000 frames per second.
