Sporulation ofPyricularia spp. in culture. Effect of some aromatic compounds

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

The effect of L-tyrosine, DL-phenylalanine, shikimic acid and chlorogenic acid on sporulation was studied with six isolates ofPyricularia from different gramineous hosts. In general, the isolates from cultivated Gramineae sporulated better than the isolates from the wild grasses. The effect of the compounds on sporulation varied with the isolate. Possible genetic differences among the isolates are invoked to explain the results.
