Mechanisms of phosphate-induced disease resistance in cucumber
2002-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Certain phosphate salts are known inducers of systemic acquired resistance (SAR). In the present study, a local spray application of dipotassium hydrogenphosphate (K2HPO4) was effective in inducing a high level of systemic protection in cucumber plants against anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum lagenarium. Resistance induction by K2HPO4 was associated with localized cell death in cucumber leaves treated with the...
