| investigation on the toxicity of fungi from rootstock snacks. | chicken embryo bioassay was used to monitor the toxicity of extracts from rootstock snack samples during a 210-day storage period. results show that the relative toxicity values which were initially very low increased significantly as from 120th day (when 32% mortality was recorded) up till the last day when 73% was obtained. toxicity of extracts from axenic cultures of 12 fungal species isolated from the snack samples was also determined. the strains of aspergillus chevalieri, rhizopus nigrican ... | 1994 | 8145803 |
