Abstract

Forms ofFusarium oxysporum specific on hosts other than tomato induce in this plant greater initial increases of the phenols content than the pathogenic f. sp.lycopersici. Mixed inoculations of f. sp.lycopersici and f. sp.dianthi are on the contrary no more effective in inducing the phenol accumulation 24 h after the infection than f. sp.lycopersici alone. This observation suggests that the pathogen can suppress the phenolic response that is typical of the incompatible combinations.

Samenvatting

Vormen vanFusarium oxysporum welke pathogeen zijn voor andere planten dan de tomaat induceren in deze plant aanvankelijk een grotere toename van het fenolgehalte dan de pathogene f. sp.lycopersici. Inoculaties met een gemengd inoculum van de f. sp.lycopersici en f. sp.dianthi hebben daarentegen geen groter effect op de toename van het fenolgehalte 24 uur na infectie dan de inoculaties met f. sp.lycopersici alleen. Verondersteld wordt dat het pathogeen de toename van het fenolgehalte, dat typerend is voor de incompatibele combinatie, kan onderdrukken.
