Induced Resistance to Fusarium Wilt Diseases

  • Conference paper
Vascular Wilt Diseases of Plants

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 28))

Abstract

Combined inoculation of different pathogens can confer a pathological picture drastically different from the syndrome singularly evoked by each of two pathogens or, if not, accelerate or delay the severity of one disease or another. We are here expected to deal with the situation in which a first microorganism avirulent on a given host and deprived of antagonistic properties in vitro (the inducer) decreases the severity of the disease caused by a vascular pathogen (the challenger).
