Abstract

Soil Sciences Plant Biology Crop and Pasture Production barley seedlings fusarium culmorum organic acids phytotoxicity root-hairs
A mixture of gluconic acid and two unidentified organic acids, isolated from the culture filtrate ofFusarium culmorum, grown in glucose-limited continuous culture, were found to be highly toxic to growth of barley seedlings. A concentration of 900 g ml-1 of the acid totally inhibited germination of barley seeds, with lower concentrations greatly inhibiting growth and development of germinated seeds. Root extension and root-hair production were inhibited at a concentration of 450 g ml-1 of the acids, but the number of roots per seedling was increased. Toxicity of the acids was promoted at low pH.
