Pathogen toxin-indiced electrolyte leakage and phytoalexin accumulation as indices of red-rot (<em>Colletotrichum falcatum</em> Went) resistance in sugarcane
A phytotoxin produced by the sugarcane red-rot fungus Colletotrichum falcatum Went was partially purified. The phytotoxin caused increased electrolyte leakage in susceptible sugarcane varieties and higher levels of phytoalexins (3-deoxyanthocyanidins) in resistant sugarcane varieties. This relations...
