✦ Synopsis
The selective property of sirodesmin PL, a toxin produced by Phoma lingam, was studied on protoplasts, cell aggregates, leaves and roots. Directly after isolation, protoplasts from all the different Brassica accessions were sensitive when treated with toxin in a concentration higher than 1 μM. When more differentiated plant tissue. i.e. cell aggregates, leaves or roots, were investigated, insensitivity to the toxin was found in the plant material resistant to P. lingam, while the plant material susceptible to P. lingam was sensitive. The results reveal that a clear correlation between resistance to P. lingam and insensitivity to sirodesmin PL is present, and that the toxin can be used to distinguish resistant plant material from susceptible both in vivo and in vitro.
