Physiology of Damped-off Tomato Seedlings

Abstract

Tomato hypocotyls infected with P. aphanidermatum contained fructose, sucrose and glucose while the healthy hypocotyls contained only sucrose and glucose. Tartaric acid was detected only in the infected hypocotyls. Similarly glutamic acid, leucine, meth- ionine and tryptophan were detected only in infected tissues, While phenolics content increased, nitrogen. phosphorus, potassium and calcium contents decreased due to infection.
