STUDIES ON TOXIN PRODUCTION IN TOMATO FUNGI ON DIFFERENT CULTURE MEDIA

C. S. Swami

Abstract :

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is one of the common vegetables grown all over the country extensively almost the year round. The crop is reported to be affected by about twenty diseases of microbial origin. Among them, the fungal pathogens have been found to affect and damage severely the tomato fruits both in field at different developmental stages as well as in the market during storage. This may result in the qualitative and quantitative loss of tomato fruits. The fungi are known to produce different toxins during pathogenesis. In the present investigation, toxin production on three different culture media was studied in some fungi isolated from tomato fruits. Effect of fungal toxins on seed germination, root length and shoot length was studied. The media were found to affect the toxin production in the test fungi.
