Abstract
In both tropical and temperate areas solanaceous crops are economically important. In the former they are an essential addition to the diet, providing much needed vitamins and minerals as well as flavouring for otherwise monotonous farinaceous foods. Tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum) are often second only to bananas (Musa spp.) in value for these countries. In temperate European countries the tomato crop is the mainstay of the glasshouse industry while the USA and Canada large areas are devoted to field production directed principally at the processing industry as preserved fruit and soups. Other and often equally important solanaceous crops include peppers (Capsicum annuum) and aubergines (Solanum melongena). Detailed studies of the pathogens which affect this crop family reflect its economic significance. Bacterial pathogens such as Pseudomonas solanacearum and Corynebacterium michiganense can be controlled only by husbandry techniques, although studies of potential resistance mechanisms are developing. Semi-tropical crops are affected by an endoparasitic powdery mildew (Leveillula taurica), which is not only of intrinsic interest but of increasing commercial significance in areas such as Israel where these crops are grown for an expanding export trade. A complex physiological race pattern is revealed for Fulvia fulva (leaf mould) attendant on the widespread use of monogenic resistance. Resistance to Alternaria solani (early blight) has been related to formation of a phytoalexin, rishitin, and this may eventually point to a means of control.
