| induction of resistance in host against the infection of leaf blight pathogen (alternaria palandui) in onion (allium cepa var aggregatum). | the pseudomonas fluorescens isolate pfl was found to inhibit the growth of pathogen alternaria palandui, in vitro. in the present study, foliar application of a talc-based formulation of pfl significantly reduced the incidence of leaf blight of onion, caused by a. palandui. induction of defense-related proteins viz., chitinase, beta-1,3 glucanase, peroxidase (po) and polyphenol oxidase (ppo) by application of pfl, was studied against a. palandui infection in resistant (ihr 56) and susceptible (m ... | 2005 | 16955738 |
