Scanning electron microscopical investigations of defense reactions against fungal pathogens as resistance causes in azalea taking Cylindrocladium scoparium as an example
Project
Project code: JKI-EP-08-2107
Contract period: 01.06.2007
- 31.12.2009
Purpose of research: Basic research
Within the scope of an ecological ornamental plant production the breeding of plants resistant to pathogens becomes more important. In this connection, the clarification of the resistance cause is of great interest. The knowledge of the defense reaction that forms the basis of the resistance of plants against pathogens can be used for the development of resistance markers. In addition, conclusions on the stability of the resistance can be drawn. We found such correlations in earlier scanning electron microscopical investigations on other cultivated plants.
