Enhanced virulence of Fusarium species associated with spear rot of oil palm following recovery from osmotic stress

Enhanced virulence of Fusarium species associated with spear rot of oil palm following recovery from osmotic stress

Fusarium spp., which are common inhabitants of oil palm leaves, are weak pathogens of common spear rot (CSR). We investigated the influence of osmotic stress on the growth, virulence, and activity of cell wall-degrading enzymes of CSR fungi, using potato dextrose agar (PDA) supplemented with KCl or...
