Changes in Phenolics, Polyphenol Oxidase and its Isoenzyme Patterns in Relation to Resistance in Taro against Phytophthora colocasiae
2009-03-01
Abstract excerpt
The effect of Phytophthora leaf blight disease, caused by Phytophthora colocasiae Raciborski, on the accumulation of phenolics and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity in ex vitro plants was studied in three resistant (DP-25, Duradim and Jhankri) and one susceptible (N-118) genotypes of taro [Colocasia esculenta (L). Schott]. The inoculation of taro leaves with P. colocasiae spores resulted in a quantitative change i...
