Inoculation of cucumber roots with zoospores of mycoparasitic and plant pathogenic Pythium species: differential zoospore accumulation, colonization ability and plant growth response.
1998-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Hydroponically grown cucumber (Cucumis sativus) seedlings were inoculated with zoospores of 1 mycoparasitic (Pythium oligandrum) and 2 pathogenic (Pythium aphanidermatum and Pythium group F) Pythium spp. During the first 2 days after inoculation, all the Pythium spp. caused reduction in the root length. However, roots treated with Pythium oligandrum quickly reached the length of the control and on the 8th day, and...
