Abstract

Rapidly developing disease symptoms not normally found in tulip bulb cultivation in The Netherlands are described. Mycelium of the fungus is present mainly in the parenchymatic tissues, giving further evidence that the fungus is not a vascular parasite in tulips. There are indications that enzymes or other compounds are involved in the syndrome. Possible factors influencing this uncommon disease development are mentioned.

Samenvatting

Een snelle ontwikkeling van ziektesymptomen wordt beschreven, die bij de normale teelt van tulpen in Nederland niet bekend is. Mycelium werd hoofdzakelijk aangetroffen in de parenchymatische weefsels, zowel inter- als intracellulair. Dit geeft een verdere steun aan de opvatting dat de schimmel in de tulp geen vaatparasiet is. Er bestaan aanwijzingen, dat enzymen of andere stoffen een rol spelen bij het ontstaan van dit ziektebeeld. Faktoren, die wellicht een rol spelen worden genoemd.
