Toxin production by Alternaria solani and its related phytotoxicity to tomato breeding lines
1991-09-01
Abstract excerpt
The fungus Alternaria solani causes early blight and collar rot diseases on tomatoes. A. solani has been reported to synthesize phytotoxic metabolites, especially alternaric acid and zinniol, in culture. Culture filtrates of several A. solani isolates were tested for their phytotoxicity to tomato genotypes previously evaluated for resistance to early blight and collar rot. Tomato seedlings exposed to culture filtr...
