Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Streptomycin increased the resistance of Thatcher wheat to infection by Xanthomonas translucens.
- Intervention effect Actidione (cycloheximide), griseofulvin and neomycin did not increase the resistance of Thatcher wheat to infection by Xanthomonas translucens.
- Intervention effect All of the antibiotics reduced the dry weight per wheat plant.
- Intervention effect Chloramphenicol reduced dry weight appreciably even though infection was controlled.
- Intervention effect The reduction in dry weight was smallest with neomycin.
- Intervention effect The reduction in dry weight was greatest with the higher concentrations of three forms of streptomycin tested.
- Mechanism The induction of resistance is authors-interpreted as closely related to phytotoxicity and to the sensitivity of the pathogen to the antibiotic.
