Abstract:
Hypobaric pressures prevented the ripening of avocado fruit discs and the development of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides infection on them. The same condition did not prevent the growth of C. gloeosporioides on potato dextrose agar. Using this system it was shown that the resistance of unripe avocado fruit discs does not originate in the lack of subsrate for fungal growth. Copyright © 1984, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
