Toxin Production by Seed-borne Fungi

Abstract

The seed-borne fungi of castor reduced the germinability of the seeds. The root and shoot elongation was also markedly affected. The fungi produced toxins in culture which inhibited the seed germinability and seedling vigour. Czapek-Dox medium was observed to be suitable for the production of toxins by the seed-borne fungi.
