Preliminary study on the effects of fusaric acid treated protocorm-like bodies of Dendrobium hybrid against Fusarium proliferatum and Fusarium oxysporum
Abstract:Aims: Dendrobiums are majorly affected by Fusarium proliferatum and F. oxysporum. The aim of this research was to utilise the mycotoxin, fusaric acid (FA) on Dendrobium hybrid to produce cultivars that are resistant towards these fungi. Methodology and results: FA of concentrations 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 mM were transferred to sterilised halfstrength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium and inoculated with four weeks old thin cell layer (TCL) of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) for eight weeks. It was deduced that P… Show more
