Other claims from this paper (6)
- Method / resource AUDPC and apparent infection rate discriminated four levels of genetic resistance.
- Association AUDPC in inoculated genotypes was related to root necrosis.
- Observation The most susceptible genotypes showed significantly reduced photosynthetic capacity and stomatal conductance.
- Observation The most susceptible genotypes lost root and foliage biomass.
- Mechanism Tyloses formed as a histological response to infection.
- Recommendation CCGA0143, CCGA0080, CCGA0122, and Duke-7 are proposed as resistant elite genotypes for nursery use.
