S ummary Methods for the differential extraction of starch and glycogen from rust‐infected leaf tissue and their assay using amyloglucosidase and glucose oxidase are described. In rusted leaves of Tussilago , the low starch levels show a typical diurnal variation whereas there is continued synthesis of glycogen by the fungus in the dark.
