Investigations on fungicides. XVI. Natural resistance of plant roots to fungal pathogens.
Uninoculated roots of pea (Pisum sativum) and French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) have been shown to exude a number of antifungal compounds when grown in a non-sterile aqueous aerated medium. These have been identified and their possible importance in relation to disease resistance is discussed.
