Title
THE PARASITISM OF CLADOSPORIUM FULVUM COOKE AND THE GENETICS OF RESISTANCE TO IT
Arthur N. Langford Canadian Journal of Research/Canadian journal of research 1937. doi:10.1139/cjr37c-008
Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Four physiologic forms of Cladosporium fulvum were differentiated by differences in pathogenicity on tomato.
- Observation Saltant strains of Cladosporium fulvum were isolated repeatedly from cultures arising from single one-celled spores.
- Observation Cladosporium fulvum reactions on tomato form four main classes: complete susceptibility, two types of partial resistance, and immunity.
- Observation The reaction between pure lines of tomato and the fungus is plastic.
- Observation Seasonal fluctuations in the reaction of Lycopersicon esculentum var. Stirling Castle to physiologic Form 1 are outstanding.
- Mechanism Failure of the inherent resistance of Stirling Castle in midwinter at Toronto is largely due to the reduced light experience of plants grown at that time.
- Mechanism Failure of plants to support sporulation of Cladosporium fulvum is caused by the low relative humidity in the greenhouses.
- Observation The Red Currant tomato carries an independently segregating dominant factor that governs resistance to all four forms of Cladosporium fulvum.
- Observation Resistance of Stirling Castle to Cladosporium fulvum Forms 1 and 3 is due to another dominant factor.
- Observation A recessive lutescence factor in the homozygous condition modifies the main reaction types of tomato to Cladosporium fulvum.
- Observation The recessive lutescence factor produces small inconspicuous infection spots on genetically immune tomato plants, whose growth is arrested soon after symptoms appear.
- Observation Three resistance factors of tomato were located on MacArthur chromosome maps by linkage studies.
