Abstract
Antagonism of ectotrophic mycorrhizal fungi to Phytophthora cinnamomi, other root pathogenic fungi, and soil bacteria was examined. In agar plate tests, Laccaria laccata, Lactarius deliciosus, Leucopaxillus cerealis var. piceina, Pisolithus tinctorius, and Suillus luteus inhibited growth of nearly half of the 48 different fungal root pathogens. Leucopaxillus cerealis var. piceina inhibited 92% of the test pathogens. Differences in sensitivity of several isolates of P. cinnamomi to inhibitions by this symbiont were not found. Culture filtrates of L. cerealis var. piceina were inhibitory also to growth of P. cinnamomi and soil bacteria. Zoospore germination was inhibited completely in filtrates of this symbiont. Maximum antibiotic production occurred during the rapid growth phase in liquid culture. Length of culture incubation and temperature strongly influenced production of inhibitory substances by L. cerealis var. piceina in liquid culture. It grew best from 10 to 20 C, whereas P. tinctorius grew best from 30 to 35 C in liquid culture.
期刊介绍:
Phytopathology publishes articles on fundamental research that advances understanding of the nature of plant diseases, the agents that cause them, their spread, the losses they cause, and measures that can be used to control them. Phytopathology considers manuscripts covering all aspects of plant diseases including bacteriology, host-parasite biochemistry and cell biology, biological control, disease control and pest management, description of new pathogen species description of new pathogen species, ecology and population biology, epidemiology, disease etiology, host genetics and resistance, mycology, nematology, plant stress and abiotic disorders, postharvest pathology and mycotoxins, and virology. Papers dealing mainly with taxonomy, such as descriptions of new plant pathogen taxa are acceptable if they include plant disease research results such as pathogenicity, host range, etc. Taxonomic papers that focus on classification, identification, and nomenclature below the subspecies level may also be submitted to Phytopathology.
