Summary

Root exudates from healthy and diseased lentil plants (Lens culinaris) have been investigated in relation to the wilt disease caused byFusarium oxysporum f.lentis. In all ten amino acids and five sugars have been detected. The spore germination of the pathogen in root exudates indicated that 21-days root exudate was inhibitory. Glycine and phenylalanine were detected in 21-days exudate and were found to have an inhibitory effect upon the germination of the spores of the pathogen which may partly explain the lesser disease incidence when plants of more than 3 weeks are inoculated with the pathogen.
